OFFENSE
QUARTERBACK: Joe Namath (Jets)
Maybe Eli changes this pick one day, but there is only one Joe Willie
RUNNING BACK: Curtis Martin (Jets)
Joe Morris, Rodney Hampton and Freeman McNeil deserve consideration but this classy, inpirational gladiator RB is top of heap.
FULL BACK: Matt Snell (Jets)
Super Bowl winning FB who could do it all.
WIDE RECEIVER: Amani Toomer (Giants)
All-time leading WR edges out Al Toon, Wayne Chrebet and Wesley Walker
WIDE RECEIVER: Don Maynard (Giants)
Hall of Famer out of Texas Western who Giants let slip away to Jets.
LEFT TACKLE: Winston Hill (Jets)
Super Bowl III champ and part of first Ring of Honor class; Jumbo Elliott, who wore both blue and green, deserves consideration.
LEFT GUARD: Randy Rasmussen (Jets)
Longest-serving offensive lineman in Jets history
CENTER: Bart Oates (Giants)
Smart, tough and two-time SB champ edges out Joe Fields. Soon this will be Nick Mangold.
RIGHT GUARD: Chris Snee (Giants)
Coughlin’s son-in-law is perennial Pro Bowler.
RIGHT TACKLE: Marvin Powell (Jets)
Five-time Pro-Bowler protected Todd, O’Brien on two playoff teams.
TIGHT END: Mark Bavaro (Giants)
Rambo would have been a Hall of Famer if he didn’t get hurt.
PLACE KICKER: Pat Leahy (Jets)
Jets’ all-time leading scorer (1,470 points) never had kick blocked over 18 years in Green.
DEFENSE
DEFENSIVE END: Michael Strahan (Giants)
Not just a sack machine, but a true leader for Super Bowl XLII champs.
NOSE TACKLE: Joe Klecko (Jets)
Only player to make Pro Bowl at three different positions — DE, DT and NT.
DEFENSIVE END: Mark Gastineau (Jets)
Brigitte Nielsen’s old flame and sack-dancer extraordinaire held NFL single-season sack record until broken by Strahan.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER: Lawrence Taylor (Giants)
Greatest player to wear either uniform. Changed football.
INSIDE LINEBACKER: Harry Carson (Giants)
Hall of Famer was heart of great Big Blue defenses.
INSIDE LINEBACKER: Pepper Johnson (Giants)
Emotional, 250-pound thumper.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER: Carl Banks (Giants)
Quiet, run-stuffing leader of legendary linebacking group. Brad Van Pelt was great in his own right.
CORNERBACK: Darrelle Revis (Jets)
Called best player in Jets history by Rex Ryan, and we agree.
CORNERBACK: Mark Collins (Giants)
Underrated pass defender a notch above Mark Haynes.
SAFETY: Spider Lockhart (Giants)
One of all-time greatest names in NFL history. Also pretty good player.
SAFETY: Jim Hudson (Jets)
Had key interception in Super Bowl III win.
PUNTER: Sean Landeta (Giants)
Tough not to go with Dave Jennings, but Landeta was great in his time with Giants.
SPECIAL TEAMS & HEAD COACH
PUNT RETURNER: Dave Meggett (Giants)
Tough as nails, loved by Parcells.
KICKOFF RETURNER: Bruce Harper (Jets)
Electric mighty mite inspired Fireman Ed to wear his jersey.
HEAD COACH: Bill Parcells (Giants)
No one comes close to Parcells, who won two SBs with Giants and nearly took Jets there.
