45. Greg Larson

Greg Larson is one of the most underrated players in the history of the New York Giants, likely because he played his entire career when the Giants were not at an elite level.

Larson began his pro career in 1961, where he played at Right Tackle and then Right Guard, before becoming New York's stating Center in 1963.  Approximately around 1967, Larson became one of the NFL's better Centers, although he was only recognized with one Pro Bowl, which happened in 1968.  He remained in that role until he retired after the 1973 season. 

Larson appeared in 179 Games for the Giants, starting 150 of them.
