Oddly enough, Strahan had a reputation for being a lazy bum his first couple of years in the NFL (I seem to remember him being very injury-prone, too). The turning point in his career came when former Giant defensive end George Martin — who was one of the most well-respected players in the NFL but toiled in obscurity on bad Giants teams for most of his career before the team won Super Bowl XXVI after the 1986 season — send him a personal letter telling him that he was destined to be one of the greatest players of all time if he put his mind to it.

Lt.Col Gadson. Glad to see that he was at the game.
