Position preview: Is the next great Giants defensive line here?
Since the 1950s, every championship era of New York Giants football has included, if not been defined by, a group of iconic defensive linemen.
In the ‘50s, it was Hall of Famer Andy Robustelli, along with Jim Katcavage, Roosevelt Grier and Dick Modzelewski. The Bill Parcells era defense is remembered for its great linebackers, but they were fronted by defensive ends Leonard Marshall and George Martin, along with nose tackle Jim Burt. The Tom Coughlin era championship teams featured Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, along with Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul.
