The Best: Mark Bavaro

Years: 1985-1990

Legacy: Super Bowl Champion (XXI, XXV); Two-time All-Pro (1986, 1987); Two-time Pro Bowl (1986, 1987)

One of the toughest men in the history of the league, Mark Bavaro inspired generations of tight-ends.

He was everything you wanted in the position – a great blocker, sure hands and tough as nails. Above all, he had an undying will to win – something that was essential in the Giants’ two Super Bowl runs while he was on the roster.

Today, players like George Kittle and Travis Kelce bring back memories of Bavaro’s style – but the way he transcended the position will always be unique.
