We are rapidly approaching the 10th anniversary of the Giants victory in Superbowl 42 over the Patriots. The 2007 Giants meant so much to me personally. I was 24 years old, living at home, and football was my total passion. The 10 subsequent years, coupled with marriage, a career, a home, and starting a family have eroded the amount of time I can invest in football. I still remember feeling the similarities, if one could be so naive, between myself and that team. We were young, we were inconsistent, and we had a level of arrogance only the young can possess because they don't know any better. But we worked hard, and if we were directionless, we were still going 100 MPH in that direction.
Over the coming weeks I'm going to post a player retrospective - 1 player per day and discuss who they were, what they meant to the 2007 team, and what became of them after - I've always been a sucker for those still images at the ends of movies with a small blurb telling you what that person did later in life. I encourage all to weigh in on the player of the day, their memories, and memories of the 2007 Giants in general.
