4) Mark Haynes

Years: 1980-1985

Legacy: Three-time Pro Bowl (1982, 1983, 1984); Two-time All-Pro (1982, 1984)

The eighth overall pick in the 1980 draft, Mark Haynes was worthy of the selection throughout his time with the NY Giants.

He made three Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams while in New York – but his biggest contribution was helping them end their almost two-decade long playoff drought in 1981. He may have left the Giants prior to their two Super Bowl victories, but Haynes still was instrumental in helping build the team back into a contender.
