Football greats, some who played for the New York Jets and Giants, were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. 

Former New York Jets overwhelmingly appeared on the Pro Football Hall of Fame finalist list.

The list included Alan Faneca, Ty Law, Kevin Mawae, Jason Taylor and LaDainian Tomlinson — all accomplished players who made their mark with teams prior to becoming a part of the Gang Green family.

So which former Jets and Giants are in?

Jason Taylor

Defensive End, Jason Taylor spent more than a decade terrorizing Jets quarterbacks, finishing his career seventh all-time in sacks. Taylor joined New York in 2010, one season before retiring with the Miami Dolphins. Though most of his statistical accomplishments were achieved with the Dolphins, Taylor’s year with the Jets would mark the first time he would play in an AFC championship game.

Hall of Fame Worthy:

Taylor was a six-time pro bowler, three-time All-Pro and two-time Defensive Player of the Year. When you throw in the sack and tackling totals, he is certainly worthy.

LaDainian Tomlinson

As one of the most electrifying running backs ever to lace them up, the other “LT” rushed for more than 1,200 yards in seven different seasons. LT was that dual-threat out of the backfield, equally as dangerous in the passing game as he was in the rushing game.

He gained over 18,000-yards from scrimmage in his 11-year career. Like all the greats, he joined the Jets at the tail end of his career, playing just two seasons in East Rutherford.

Hall of Fame Worthy:

Tomlinson made five trips to the Pro Bowl and selected as an All-Pro six times. In 2006, he was named the NFL Most Valuable Player. With the Chargers, he led the league in rushing yards and touchdowns in three seasons. LT was a player you will remember your whole life if you had the opportunity to see him live.

Kurt Warner

Kurt Warner led two of the three teams he played for to the Super Bowl. The Giants just wasn’t one of them. The MVP of Super Bowl XXXIV finished his career with over 32,000 yards and a career 93.7 passer rating.

For the Giants, he was used as a place holder for Eli Manning in 2004. Once Manning secured the position, Warner would join the Arizona Cardinals. Warner would again lead a team to the Super Bowl, but fall short against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Warner gets the nod after two previous years of eligibility where he was looked over.

Hall of Fame Worthy:

As a gunslinger, Warner is the ultimate rags to riches NFL story — a player who went from the grocery store to the Arena League to leading teams to Super Bowl berths.

Warner was selected to four Pro Bowls, two 1st Team All-Pro and is a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player awards. If the Giants had the same Warner that was revived in Arizona, what happens to Eli Manning? Does Warner win more than the two Lombardi Trophies that Eli brought to the Giants? It is a fair argument.

Other Inductees

Other inductees included running back Terrell Davis, kicker Morten Andersen, safety Kenny Easley and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

The snub list is equally as impressive as the players that will walk into Canton, as Faneca, Mawae and Law will eventually find their way in.

The controversial Terrell Owens appears to the biggest snub this year. Known issues with former teammates, quarterbacks in particular, and his colorful relationship with the media, all seem to be a detriment to his Hall of Fame bid.

As the NFL preps for the Super Bowl festivities, the world will watch as two teams of 53 men try and add their name to future list of nominees.
