Great stat here:
This is the 5th straight year a former Giants

In reverse order it’s Saquon Barkley with the Eagles, Kadarius Toney twice with the Chiefs, Odell Beckham Jr. with the Rams, and Jason Pierre-Paul with the Bucs.
Great stat, a little funky though when you look at the context. Saquon was incredible for the Eagles, but you can argue that the Giants made the right move in letting him walk. Their offensive line wasn’t half as good as the Eagles line and Daniel Jones obviously didn’t work out. So if they had paid Saquon it was unlikely he was going to be half as good in New York.
Toney’s NFL career has largely been a mess, though he had a good game against Jacksonville to start the 2023 playoffs and scored a touchdown against the Eagles in Super Bowl 57. He got a second ring despite being mostly inactive and was later released.
OBJ was still only 29 years old when he was traded from the Browns to the Rams in 2021. He caught five touchdown passes in eight regular season games then had a really nice postseason run, scoring the opening TD in the win over the Bengals.
And JPP was actually a Pro Bowler the year that Tampa won it. He had a team-high 9.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions in the regular season and was a menace against the Packers in the NFCCG. That was his second ring after winning a title with Eli Manning back in 2011.
