I'm trying to remember something, anything Harry Carson did that merits being placed in with Payton, Brown, Butkus, Montana, et al.
Really, is it because he was on national TV every week, and people recognize the name?
Or is it because he has multiple SB rings? Well, so does Sean Landeta, and Elvis 'Toast' Patterson.
I'm sitting here doing the same thing for Warren Moon.
Silly you. He qualifies because he played for the NY Giants. I think they are fashioning Shockey's bust as I type.
Harry Carson's 13-year stint with the New York Football Giants is one of the longest tenures in club history.
The indestructible former linebacker served as Team Captain for 10 of his 13 seasons including the 1986 season when the Giants defeated the Denver Broncos 39-20 in Super Bowl XXI.
Rated the #1 "Inside Linebacker" in NFL history according to Pro Football Weekly, Carson was named to the All-Rookie Team after his first NFL season. Subsequently, during his NFL career, he was named to the All-NFL Team 7 times, the All-NFC Team 8 times, and NFC Linebacker of the Year twice.
He once made an amazing 25 tackles in a Monday Night Football Game against the Green Bay Packers.
With performances like that he was selected by his peers to play in the NFC-AFC Pro Bowl 9 times and is among the top 300 players to ever play in the National Football League.
Aside from the Super Bowl Shuffle rap video, how many memorable things did Mike Singletary do in his career?
