Andy Headen and Nick Greisen.
Ugh! In the midst of a run of great New York Giants uniform numbers comes this, shall we say, disappointment.
Headen and Griesen were both adequate, occasional starting linebackers.
Headen from 1983-88. Griesen from 2002-2005.
With this number, that's all I've got. If any of the old-timers can remember a pre-1950 player who wore 54 and is a better representative than these two, I would love to hear it. I have not been able to find one.
