LT Reasons Carson I think Vanpelt 55 might be Brian Kelley. Hard to make out the face.... but, I don't think Reasons and Van Pelt played together I agree. I think Reasons was after Van Pelt was gone.

4 players at some point in their career were a NY Giant . These 4 players are in the top 20 of the NFL's most games played list. Who are the 4 players? I don’t know this one but I gotta figure it’s mostly kickers and punters. Who else lasts long enough in the league to play that many games? So, Feagles must be one of them and Morten Anderson, who I think played for about a century. After that, I give up.

Carson is my all time favorite Giant. I believe all are still alive except for Van Pelt who passed away about 10 years ago.It would be great to see the middle of the D once again rise to dominance. Me too. I love Carson; he's one of my all time faves. the only Giant I ever met. Nice man. One of my top 5. Gave him props when he refused to join the vets in their initial complaints/ against the NFL for the head injuries. This was about 15 years ago, so not as much was known then as to the depth of the problem. But, Harry refused to join in... said he was an adult and made the decision to play for pay and was aware of the risks, so he had no right to complain afterward. I saw him walk off the field in la la land several times. He always pushed his helmet up on top of his head, so you had a good look at his face from where I sat. I don't ever remember him smiling, even when they made a big stop. Always focused, always serious looking.

I forgot Anderson and Junkin both had a season with the Giants.

Morton Anderson K Jeff Feagles P Sean Lendeta P Trey Junkin....Long snaper John Carney K Matt Stover K You got them. I thought Stover would be a stumper , There are no Giants stats on him. ( never was on the field) He was drafted and injured Placed on IR . Cut the following year. The rest is history . He became on of the all time great kickers.

This is a fairly easy question, but I haven't noticed anyone mentioning it, so maybe it's not as widely known as I would have thought:
A few years ago the Giants drafted Brett Jones from the Canadian Football League, causing a bit of a stir, considering the presumed disparity in talent between the CFL and NFL. Who was the greatest player the Giants ever drafted from the CFL (probably the greatest CFL player ever drafted by anyone)?
Edit: Your post appeared while I was writing mine, so I didn't see it, Big Red. Didn't mean to upstage your question.

Is it drafted or signed? Jones was not drafted he was signed.

I would say Cameron Wake.
But there is no way that anyone will dethrone Warren Moon (ever!) as the best CFL player to ever put on an NFL uniform
6 years in the CFL 21,228 yards 17 years in the NFL 49,329 yards that is 70,557 career passing yards
That is #3 on passing yardage and only 1,281 behind Farve and 1,383 behind Peyton

did you know that this board is 1000X better than the previous forum ? in seriousness ... lets see if we can get this started here as well ... not easy to recreate a classic that is a decade old with 17,000 responses and nearly 5 million views ... but ... I'll start easy who was the coach who sent in the play that resulted in the Pisarcik fumble ? Ever so slowly, this place is starting to feel like home.

I didn't realize Pepper was so much bigger than the others. Either did I and I'm assuming that's him. He looks pretty huge.

LT once had a condo at 140 Prospect Ave. Hackensack (nice place)....I delivered a pizza there once (1991?) and walked right into him coming out of the elevator. I said "Hey LT!" He grunted and shoved me out of the way. Awesome!

There was a novelty red wine made about 30+ years ago.
It was called Legends Gridiron Cuvee.
The Giants had one and I think the Jets had another.
Which Giant was on the label?

George Young. I think he was recommended by Rozelle. But wasn't Andy Robustelli the Giant GM before him?
