Chase Goodbread, contributing writer at NFL.com, assembled a list of the top 11 all-time NFL players who attended the service academies in order to commemorate the United States military through Memorial Day Weekend. The New York Giants are well represented, with four of the 11 players listed. The holiday is specifically reserved to honor military members that perished in the line of duty.
I would be remiss if I failed to mention two Giants ring of honor inductees who were killed in World War II - Jack Lummus and Al Blozis. Lummus was an officer in the United States Marine Corps who was killed at the battle of Iwo Jima.
