4) Bob Tucker

Years: 1970-1977

After joining the NY Giants in 1970, Bob Tucker quickly became a presence for the franchise.

Filling the void left by the departure of Aaron Thomas – Tucker started at least twelve games over his first six seasons in the league. He was a steady source of production for the team, having over 400 receiving yards every season.

He was a light in the darkness of the depressing 1970’s for the Giants – the sure handed tight-end you could always rely on.
