While the addition of two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns to the New York Giants lineup has been the talk of the town, offensive lineman Jon Runyan Jr. brings an intriguing background and story to the Giants’ organization.
As a young child, Runyan Jr. witnessed his father, Jon Runyan, a former Pro Bowl tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, going head-to-head against Giants legend and Hall of Famer Michael Strahan. The two rivals faced off against each other 15 times in their careers. Despite his imposing 6-foot-8, 330-pound frame, Runyan was outplayed by Strahan, who registered 14 sacks throughout their matchups.
