8. Ahmad Bradshaw

Accolades: Two-time Super Bowl champion

Career stats: 84 games played, 921 attempts, 4,232 yards, 32 TDs

While Bradshaw never made a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team in his career, the success he had with the NY Giants is arguably more important than either of those accolades.

After being selected in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL Draft, it would take Bradshaw a couple of years to take off. Following a 2008 season that would see Bradshaw only rush for 355 yards and one TD, he would go on to rush for 700+ yards in three out of the next four seasons, winning two Super Bowls in the process.

Bradshaw would play a very important role in both of the NY Giants Super Bowl runs, even scoring a somewhat accidental TD in the final moments of the 2011 Super Bowl against the Patriots that still, at the end of the day, put the game away.
