Rich Seubert, a key part of the championship line during Eli Manning's era, kicks off the list at 100. Brad Benson follows at 99, having played 10 seasons and earning one Pro Bowl selection. At 98, we have Eddie Price, a 3-time Pro Bowler who led the NFL in rushing in 1951. Hakeem Nicks, ranked 97, boasts the 4th most receiving yards in Giants history. Willie Williams, a Pro Bowl DB in 1969 with the 4th most interceptions in Giants history, lands at 96. Saquon Barkley comes in at 95, recognized for his 2018 Offensive Rookie of the Year award, 2 Pro Bowls, and the 4th most rushing yards in Giants history.

Finally, Lawrence Tynes, known for kicking the Giants into the Super Bowl twice, rounds out the list at 91.

Saquon Barkley, reacting to his ranking at 95, expressed his appreciation on Twitter, calling it "really dope." However, not all feedback was positive. Philadelphia DJ Howard Eskin criticized the aired phone conversation between Barkley and Joe Schoen on Hard Knocks, calling it "a disgrace" and questioning why Barkley would want to play for Schoen. Eskin, known for his controversial comments and actions, has a history of stirring the pot, including being suspended from Phillies home games for inappropriate behavior.

Continuing with the Top Giants Ever countdown, we reveal players ranked 90 through 81. Aaron Thomas, a tight end in the 1960s who holds the franchise record for most touchdowns by a TE, is ranked 90. Jason Sehorn, an elite cornerback in the 1990s whose career was cut short by injury, comes in at 89. Howard Cross, a great blocking tight end from the 1990s and the player with the 3rd most games played as a Giant, is at 88. Corey Webster, a key cornerback from the last two Super Bowl runs, is ranked 87. Erich Barnes, a DB who played just 4 seasons with the Giants but was 1st Team AP once and 2nd Team AP twice, is at 86. Dave Meggett, arguably the best returner in Giants history, is ranked 85. Solid running back Ahmad Bradshaw comes in at 84. Kerry Collins, who almost got a ring with the Giants and helped turn the franchise around, is at 83. Kareem McKenzie, a standout right tackle, is ranked 82. Finally, Frank Cope, a left tackle and member of the NFL’s All-1930s team, rounds out the list at 81.

In other Giants news, Cordale Flott was included in CBS Sports' NFL All-Breakout Team, highlighting his potential and expanded role as a slot cornerback. ESPN's survey of NFL executives, coaches, and scouts ranked Dexter Lawrence as the 3rd best defensive tackle in the league, praising his power, balance, and flexibility. Lawrence earned a four-year, $87.5 million extension and continues to be a dominant force in the Giants' defense. CBS Sports also ranked Bobby Okereke among the top 10 linebackers in the NFL. Okereke had a career year with 149 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, 10 passes defensed, 11 tackles for loss, and two interceptions, earning high praise from Giants fans.

Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s college coaches highlighted his natural pass-catching ability and physicality, noting his potential to excel in the NFL. Meanwhile, Patrick Peterson criticized Daniel Jones, stating that he lacks impressive arm talent and struggles to read defenses quickly. He questioned Jones' ability to be a great NFL quarterback despite his physical attributes. However, Peterson seems to have forgotten Jones' strong performances against the Vikings, including standout games in December 2022 and January 2023.
