By Neal Lynch
5. Ron Stone
Approximate Value w/ Giants: 46
Average Approximate Value per Season: 8
Stone signed with the Giants prior to the 1996 season after two seasons and only one start with the Dallas Cowboys. Fans and analysts alike disapproved of the move then Stone went on to start 92 games at right guard over six seasons. In 1997, when the Giants won the NFC East, Stone’s offensive line paved the way the 7th best rushing attack in the league… without a featured tailback. The leading rusher that season was fullback Charles Way. In 1999, behind Kerry Collins and Kent Graham the Giants threw the ball the third most in the league, totaling the 7th most passing yards in the NFL. Stone made the Pro Bowl his final two seasons as a Giant before signing with the San Francisco 49ers.
