In our continuing Throwback Thursday series, we’ll take a look back at one of the most dynamic pass catchers in New York Giants history, tight end Jeremy Shockey.
After finishing the 2001 season with a 7-9 record and missing the playoffs, the New York Giants were in need of another playmaker at tight end.
They got the man they were looking for when they drafted the All-American Shockey out of the University of Miami with the 14th overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. He was the starting tight end on the undefeated 2001 National Championship team, which is considered by many as the best modern-day college football team.
