When it comes to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, its all about the numbers, impact with their teams, winning championships and being a leader in the community. We can definitely make a case for three former New York Giants players in Leonard Marshall, Carl Banks and Ottis Anderson who all had fantastic/Hall of Fame careers for the New York Giants. Banks, Marshall and Anderson put up huge numbers back in the 80's-90's helping Giants win Superbowls for their fans. They are also big in the community, fan favorites and love competing at a high level.
Carl Banks, Leonard Marshall and Ottis Anderson should have been in the Hall of Fame by now but they are not getting the respect for some reason like the other all time players over the years. If you look at their numbers at the respective positions they played, it is right up there alongside to whoever played the same position. Ottis Anderson is considered one of the most skilled running backs to ever play the game when it came to toughness, knows to read the defense, can do anything on the field and versatile. Then you have Leonard Marshall and Carl Banks who played on one of the best defenses in my opinion back in the 80s-90s along with Harry Carson and Lawrence Taylor which was called The Blue Wrecking Crew.
The New York Giants need to find a way to get Leonard Marshall, Carl Banks and Ottis Anderson into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame soon as they deserve it more also for what they did during their fantastic NFL careers. They were a big hit for fans in New York because they kept on winning with dominant teams, playing with confidence and had that don't mess with me mindset going into every game. It would be awesome to see the trifecta get in the same time but has to happen either way regardless.
Being in the Sports industry as media for three and a half years now, making a lot of connections throughout my journey as a Journalist means a lot to me especially now being connected with Leonard Marshall who is my neighbor and mentor, Carl Banks, Ottis Anderson who I saw yesterday. Everyone please help us get Leonard Marshall, Carl Banks and Ottis Anderson into the hall of fame soon as possible.
