Homer Jones was two picks away from being “Mr. Irrelevant” in the 1963 NFL Draft, but he initially signed with the Houston Oilers of the AFL, where he could stay close to home.  That move didn’t work out, as he was cut in training camp, but the Wide Receiver would find work with the team that drafted him in the NFL, the New York Giants.

The New York Giants were one of the best teams in the NFC in the late 1980s, and Mark Bavaro was their Tight End during their best period.

When you think of Rosey Grier, the first thought is always his role as a member of the Fearsome Foursome of the Los Angeles Rams.  That might be the first reaction, but is it the correct one?  New York Giants fans might disagree.

The New York Giants used their First Round Pick in 1980 (8^thOverall) on Mark Haynes, a star Cornerback from Colorado.  While Haynes never achieved the fame of some of the Defensive Ends and Linebackers who played ahead of him, he was a bona fide top player in his own right.
