Former New York Giants GM George Young is on his way to the Hall of Fame

The Pro Football Hall of Fame committee is making its picks for the 2020 class, and a legendary New York Giants general manager finally finds himself on the list.

George Young, who worked for the Giants from 1979-1997, will be included in this year’s class. It’s surprising the committee didn’t induct him sooner. Young was arguably the most accomplished general manager in the franchise’s history.

During his tenure in New York, Young helped the organization win Super Bowls 21 and 25 and was a five-time NFL Executive of the Year. He won the award in 1984, 1986, 1990, 1993, and 1997.
