38. Keith Hamilton

Keith Hamilton played his college ball at Pittsburgh, and the New York Giants were happy to land him with their Fourth Round Pick in the 1992 Draft.

Like many rookies, Hamilton was eased into regular duty as a rookie, where he did not start any games, but he was their starting Left Defensive End the following season.  Hamilton later moved to Defensive Tackle, which was where he played the majority of his games.  The former Panther was never chosen for a Pro Bowl, but the former Panther was a Second Team All-Pro in 2000, the same year he had an Approximate Value of 15. Hamilton had two other seasons with double-digit AV, and he also two years of ten-plus Sacks.

Hamilton played his entire career with the Giants, retiring in 2003.  He retired with 63 Sacks.
