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.
Ninth-seeded Jessie Armstead pulled off a decided victory in the first round, garnering 82% of the vote to beat eighth-seeded Jimmy Patton. The linebacker will face top-seeded Harry Carson in the second round of The Coughlin Region.
The other first-round winners were Carson, second-seeded Eli Manning, third-seeded Mel Hein, fourth-seeded Odell Beckham Jr., fifth-seeded Mark Bavaro, sixth-seeded Tuffy Leemans and seventh-seeded Erich Barnes.
Voting for the second round ends March 27.
