New York football hasn’t lived up to expectations of late, and the immediate future might not be much brighter, but in this recently completed quarter-century, from 2000-24, the Giants and Jets put some of their greatest players in franchise history on the field, groomed a few Hall of Famers, made several deep and exciting playoff runs and, thanks to the Giants, brought a pair of championships back to town.
Who, though, are the top 25 players (plus one coach!) of the past 25 years to wear either a Giants or Jets uniform . . . or in a couple of cases, both?
Here is Newsday’s All-Quarter Century Team that pulls from both franchises and attempts to assemble a starting lineup that would make New York something it hasn’t been regarding football in quite some time: proud.
