Legacy: Super Bowl Champion (XXV)

In his career with the NY Giants, Howard Cross was a part of the highs and the lows.

A Super Bowl Champion in Super Bowl XXV, and a Super Bowl loser in Super Bowl XXXV. Still, throughout his decade plus with the team – Cross became one of the staples of the Giants’ offense.

He was a superb blocker, but got his hands on the ball as well – scoring 17 touchdowns throughout his career in New York.
