23. Leonard Marshall

Leonard Marshall was a massive component of the New York Giants defensive group that would win two Super Bowls.

Marshall came to New York from LSU as a Second Rounder in 1983, and he would win the starting Right Defensive End midway through his rookie year.  Marshall's best two years were 1985 and 1986, where he went to the Pro Bowl, had double-digits in Sacks, and scored a 15 in Approximate Value.  His production would be up and down afterward, but he was an excellent pass rusher and 79.5 Sacks over his Giants career, which ended when he signed with the crosstown Jets in 1993. 

Marshall was chosen for the Giants Hall of Fame in 2022.
