Recently, on Twitter under the @gmenhq account, we posted this Twitter question requesting a list of All-Time great Giants linebackers.
Twitter’s response:
@gmenhq Taylor, Huff, Carson, Banks, Van Pelt.

Two people on Twitter with the same Top Five list made GMEN HQ wonder:
@gmenhq all those guys mentioned are top 10 but to me the top 5 can't be argued too much.

Our own @AdamGaneles (Twitter) had this to say about his list of Top-Five Giants LB’s:
- LT
- Carson
- Huff
- Banks
- and… Gary Reasons
"Reasons over Van Pelt? Stylistically Giants Nation–I’m a Gary Reasons guy, but Brad Van Pelt is probably the Giants LB a lot of diehard fans will champion. More modern fans might like Antonio Pierce and Jessie Armstead as well, both great Jints patrolling the gridiron. In the end, my list is my list."
Who’s your Top Five, Giants Nation?
