Round 4: Brandon Jacobs (2005)

Again, there weren’t many top-end players to choose from here, but it really wouldn’t have mattered anyway — Brandon Jacobs is a Giants legend and it would have required a special talent to unseat him here.

Has there ever been a guy who bled a deeper shade of blue than Jacobs? The man eat, slept and breathed Giants football and brought back the old school hate your divisional rivals (and all opponents, really) mentality.

Jacobs spent eight seasons with the Giants over two different stints and holds the franchise record for rushing touchdowns to this day. He also helped lead the team to two Super Bowl victories and will forever be loved by Giants Nation.
