2) Jeremy Shockey

Years: 2002-2007

Legacy: Super Bowl Champion (XLII); Four-time Pro Bowl (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006); First-team All-Pro (2002)

The unapologetic, bleach-blonde tight-end who became a star in New York.

After being selected in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft, Jeremy Shockey became one of the best players on the team. The Giants eventually made him the highest paid tight-end in the entire league – an honor the former Miami Hurricane certainly deserved.

While his career in New York ended with a Super Bowl ring, Shockey didn’t feel like he contributed – as he missed the playoff run with a broken fibula. The competitor in Shockey didn’t allow him to participate in the team’s celebrations, as he felt he didn’t contribute.

While his star shined brightest in New York, Shockey finally felt he earned a Super Bowl ring in Super Bowl XLIV – where he helped his New Orleans Saints make it to the pinnacle of the football world.
