It may be Hall of Fame weekend in Canton, Ohio, but Saturday was also Hall of Fame day in East Rutherford, N.J.
Michael Strahan, enshrined in 2014 and the most recent gold jacket recipient for the Giants, was at the team's training camp practice and even delivered a post-workout speech to rally the current players.
"He talked about the love of the game, he talked about the pride in the Giants organization, and about how his team, the team that he was on, is connected to the team that we have here today," Giants coach Ben McAdoo said of the animated address by Strahan. "(He spoke about) what a special place this is and don't have any regrets. Make sure you get everything you can out of camp and have no regrets moving forward."
Strahan, who played for the Giants from 1993 to 2007, made a particular impression on the younger players who have not had much opportunity to be around him.
"It's crazy seeing legends all around," rookie defensive end Avery Moss said, talking about this experience as well as meeting Justin Tuck earlier this offseason. "These are people we grew up hearing about and watching. They're walking legends. It's dope seeing all that kind of stuff."
