Throwback Thursday: New York Giants legend Leonard Marshall
Defensive end Leonard Marshall was one of the greatest defensive players in the history of the New York Giants.
One of the reasons the New York Giants have won four Super Bowls is because they’ve had elite pass rushers who could consistently apply pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
A big reason why the Giants were able to win their first two Super Bowls—21 and 25—was because of their stellar defensive end Leonard Marshall.
The Giants took Marshall in the second round of the 1983 draft (37th overall) out of LSU. He would appear in 14 games as a rookie, playing right defensive end where he would play for the duration of his Giants career.
