All players’ names above are members of the Giants’ Ring of Honor and all but Manning are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Manning will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2025.

Hein (7), Manning (10), Gifford (16), Taylor (56), and Strahan (92) have had their jersey numbers retired by the team.

The committee of voters who compiled the list was chaired by Giants longtime radio play-by-play announcer Bob Papa and consisted of other journalists and interested parties who have covered the Giants and the NFL over the years.
