4 ex-Giants among first-year eligible candidates for Hall of Fame in 2024
Four former New York Giants players are on the list of potentials for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall, linebacker Connor Barwin, running back Jonathan Stewart and cornerback Leon Hall will all be eligible for the first time next year.
Marshall played just five games for the Giants in 2017 after inking a two-year, $12 million deal. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5 and was released the next spring.
Barwin came to the Giants in 2018 after four-year stints in Houston and Philadelphia and a year with the Rams. He played 15 games for the Giants and retired in 2019.
Stewart was a controversial signing by the Giants in 2018 after 10 seasons in Carolina. He had little left in the tank when he got to New Jersey and ended up playing in three games for Big Blue.
Hall came to the Giants in 2016 after nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He played in 12 games and was not brought back in 2017.
Of this group, Marshall has the best shot at a place in Canton. He had six seasons where he had 100 or more receptions, tied with Antonio Brown for the most all-time.
Other first-time eligibles who have an actual chance at gaining election are defensive end Julius Peppers, tight end Antonio Gates and cornerback Eric Berry.
