4. Zak DeOssie, LS, 2007 Draft: 4th Round (116 Overall)

Although originally drafted out of Penn as a linebacker, Zak DeOssie took over the long snapping duties midway through his rookie year and never looked back.

DeOssie played his entire 13-year career for the Giants, 199 games in total. This includes playing in 140-straight games from his rookie season in 2007 to December of 2015.

He was a team captain for multiple seasons and named to the Pro Bowl in 2008 and 2010. Throughout his career he was considered one of the best and most consistent long snappers in the NFL and proved instrumental in both of the Giants’ Super Bowl runs in the late 2000s.

It’s hard to deny how much return the Giants got with DeOssie, an Ivy League linebacker taken with the 116th overall pick who turned into a multi-year Pro Bowler and 13-year starter.
