7) Justin Tuck

Years: 2005-2013

Legacy: Two-time Super Bowl Champion (XLII, XLVI); Two-time Pro Bowl (2008, 2010); First-team All-Pro (2008)

One of the most beloved NY Giants in recent memory, Justin Tuck helped lead the team to two Super Bowl victories.

As a young man in 2007, he watched Michael Strahan lead the team with his play and voice – while Tuck showed out with 10 sacks on the year. In 2011, it was Tuck’s turn to lead the defense – a challenge he chewed up and spit out.

Tuck showed up when it mattered most, putting the pressure on Tom Brady in both Super Bowl victories. His performances were so good, that many believed he should’ve won the game’s MVP over teammate Eli Manning – both times.

He ended his Giants’ career with 60.5 sacks – and the success the franchise enjoyed with him a member made him a legend.
