3) Steve Owen

Years: 1926-1931, 1933

Legacy: NFL Champion (1927); First-team All-Pro (1927)

After joining the US Army in World War I, Steve Owen began to play football in 1924. Finally, he was where he was meant to be in 1926 – when he joined the NY Giants.

Owen natural leadership ability was on display from the start – he became the team’s captain in 1927. That year, he led the Giants to a dominating season – one that ended in the first NFL Championship for the franchise.

Owen made his name as a player – but he’s even more well known for being one of the greatest head coaches in team history. Still, he’s a must on the list of greatest offensive lineman in team history.
