The New York Giants finished the 2016 NFL regular season at 11-5. Six players were honored for the incredible season, including five defensive standouts.

The 2016 NFL regular season was one of the most rewarding in New York Giants history. After spending the past four seasons watching the playoffs from home, the Giants finally broke through with an outstanding showing under first-year head coach Ben McAdoo.

As the Giants prepare for a Wild Card Round game against the Green Bay Packers, six players were given reason for additional confidence.

Six members of the Giants were named to the 2016 NFL All-Pro Teams by the Associated Press. Five of those players were defensive stars, including three whom general manager Jerry Reese signed this past offseason.

Suddenly, the critics who claimed the Giants spent too much money on defense are eating their words.

Though only one offensive player made the cut, the fact that six members of the Giants were honored is a testament to the depth and star power they possess. It’s an incredible honor that every player should be grateful to have received.

The question is: which Giants players made the All-Pro Teams and what did they do to earn those incredible honors?
