6) Kevin Boss

Years: 2007-2010

Legacy: Super Bowl Champion (XLII)

When you hear Kevin Boss’ name, it’s tough not to conjure up the visual of him running down the middle of the field in Super Bowl XLII.

Aside from the miraculous David Tyree catch, there weren’t many big offensive plays in one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. Boss’ 45-yard touchdown catch awoke the Giants’ offense – leading their fourth quarter barrage that gave them their third Super Bowl title.

The following years of his career in New York weren’t quite as exciting, but without Boss’ play in the Super Bowl and throughout the playoffs that season – it’s likely the Giants aren’t successful in their quest.
