See it: New York Giants great Howard Cross latest to address 2025 squad
The New York Giants have had a parade of former stars pass through the doors of their training facility this spring to address the team, most notably Hall of Famers Lawrence Taylor and Michael Strahan and future Hall of Famer Eli Manning.
This week, it was Howard Cross' turn. The former tight end who played 13 seasons for the Giants from 1989-2001 and earned a Super Bowl XXV ring, has been a constant in the building for decades as he has been part of the club's broadcast team since 2007.
Cross delivered a message centered around defending one's turf. Having the distinction of playing for two of the game's greatest coaches -- Bear Bryant at Alabama and Bill Parcells here with the Giants -- when Cross speaks, he's worth listening to.
Cross is the only player to play in Super Bowl XXV and XXXV with the Giants. His 207 games played in a Giants uniform rank third in franchise history behind Manning (236) and Strahan (216).
