2) Mel Hein

Years: 1931-1945

Legacy: Two-time NFL Champion (1934, 1938); Eight-time First-team All-Pro (1933-1940); NFL MVP (1938); Pro Football HOF

Imagine a center winning the NFL MVP – imagine no more, because Mel Hein did it in 1938.

Hein was deserving on the honor – he was the heart and soul of the NY Giants for over a decade. In addition to his All-Pro play, he was the team’s captain for 10 years.

Hein lost five NFL Championship games – but he reached the pinnacle of the football world twice. He spent his entire career with the Giants, and remains one of the greatest players in franchise history.
