Top 5 players to suit up for Giants & Jets

Fifty-five players have repped both Gang Green and Big Blue.

Quarterback Davis Webb became the latest, signing with the Jets practice squad Tuesday after shockingly being waived by the Giants this past weekend.

Let’s take a look at the top 5 players to suit up for both teams.

Jumbo Elliott

This offensive tackle spent his entire career in East Rutherford and unlike most others on this list, was a force with both squads. Elliott won a Super Bowl with the Giants in 1991 before signing a five-year deal with the Jets five years later. You may remember his “Monday Night Miracle” catch — the only pass he ever caught — in a 2000 duel with the Dolphins his team eventually won in overtime, 40-37.

Leonard Marshall

Marshall, meanwhile, is mostly remembered for his dominant stretch with the Giants in which he won two Super Bowls in 1987 and 1991 while totaling 79.5 sacks over 10 seasons. Marshall enjoyed a cup of coffee with the Jets and Giants divi- sion rival Washington before hanging ’em up in 1994.

Don Maynard

Only one Hall of Famer played for both franchises. Maynard was originally drafted by the Giants but was released after just one season. After a stint in the CFL, Maynard became the first player to sign with the New York Titans (who became the Jets in 1963). He became Joe Namath’s favorite target along

the way to Super Bowl III.

Plaxico Burress

No one can forget the Eli Manning with Burress ruin the Patriots’ un-deafeated season in the seconds of Super XLII. The stud wide then accidentally shot himself, forced him to while serving a prison sentence. After getting out, the Jets signed Plax for the 2011 season.

Pepper Johnson

A pivotal cog on the Giants’ second Super Bowl team (he was a backup on their first) had the pleasure of playing under Bill Parcells for five seasons as a Giant and two more as a Jet (1997-98), his final two in the NFL.

Speaking of Parcells — sign him and Bill Belichick to reunite and coach this squad.—
