Ranking the 10 best receivers in NY Giants history
Number 1: WR Amani Toomer
This should come as no surprise to anyone. Amani Toomer is no doubt the greatest NY Giants wide receiver of all time. Toomer owns the NY Giants all time records for receptions, receiving yards and receiving TDs.
After being drafted in the second round of the 1996 NFL Draft, Toomer would not see the field much, Only playing in seven games due to a torn ACL. This trend of not playing often would continue for the next two seasons, as Toomer would not start a single game in that time span and would fail to have over 400 receiving yards in each campaign.
However, things would quickly change for the then 25-year-old receiver. Toomer eventually broke out with five 1,000-yard seasons in a row. He helped the G-Men make the Super Bowl in 2000. The success would remain for Toomer, who would have over 650 receiving yards in three out of his last five seasons in the NFL. He played a big role in the NY Giants Super Bowl win in 2007.
During the Super Bowl run, Toomer would catch 21 passes for 280 yards and 3 TDs. He played an instrumental role in the Giants victory over the undefeated Patriots. Toomer would finish his career catching 668 passes for 9,497 yards and 54 TDs. While he may not have the Pro Bowls and All-Pro team selections that some of the other players on this list have, Toomer’s longevity with NY and his success is hard to match. He’s an all-time great, no question.
