Round 6: David Tyree (2003)

Truthfully, there wasn’t much to pick from in Round 6 dating back to 2000. For whatever reason, the Giants haven’t managed to hit on a long-term player there, although that hopefully changes with cornerback Corey Ballentine (2019).

Ultimately, Tyree gets the nod here because he not only spent six seasons with the Giants (seven seasons in the NFL), but because his performance in Super Bowl XLII was the stuff of legends.

Fans, of course, remember him for the helmet catch in that game, but it’s easy to forget he also caught a touchdown earlier in the game which ultimately proved to be the difference.
