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 (8thOverall) 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.
One of the most fun teams to watch in college football was the Miami Hurricanes of the 90s and early 00s. One of the great players of their 2001 BCS Championship Team was Tight End, Jeremy Shockey, who was an All-American that championship year.
