The New York Giants joined the National Football League back in 1925,
and have since been one of the league's flagship franchises. The Giants
have appeared in nineteen NFL championship games--more than any other
team--and have won eight league championships. Iconic figures such as
Eli Manning, Phil Simms, Harry Carson, Michael Strahan, and Frank
Gifford have all played for the Giants. Twenty-five players who spent at
least one full season with the Giants have been inducted into the NFL
Hall of Fame, and fifteen of those men spent the majority of their
careers playing for the team. This book carefully measures the careers
of those players who made the greatest impact on the team. The ranking
was determined by such factors as the extent to which each player added

his team, and the level of dominance he attained while wearing the Big
Blue uniform. Features of The 50 Greatest Players in New York Giants
