3- Erich Barnes 1961-1964

Though Barnes was only a Giant for 4 seasons he helped lead a Giants team that appeared in 3 consecutive Championship Games. In only 4 seasons Barnes picked off 18 passes returning 3 of them for scores. He recovered 7 fumbles and scored on one of those as well. In all 4 of his seasons in blue Barnes was sent to the Pro-Bowl. He owns the Giants record for longest interception return, going 102 yards for a pick-6 vs the Dallas Cowboys in 1961.
