To celebrate March Madness — and occupy ourselves with the NFL Draft still weeks away — the Big Blue View staff has selected and seeded the top 64 players in Giants history.

They will continue to face off tournament-style with you picking the winners, culminating in the Giant you choose as the greatest of all-time.

Eleventh-seeded Jumbo Elliott pulled the only upset in The Mara Region’s first round.

The left tackle narrowly upset sixth-seeded Rodney Hampton — by just 31 votes — and will face fellow left tackle and third-seeded Rosey Brown in the second round.

The other first-round winners were top-seeded Frank Gifford, second-seeded Phil Simms, Brown, fourth-seeded Andy Robustelli, fifth-seeded Justin Tuck, seventh-seeded Fran Tarkenton and eighth-seeded Osi Umenyiora.

Voting for the second round ends March 27.
