2020: HBD DARNAY “THA GREAT” HOLMES turns 27. #NYGiants picked Holmes in 4th round out of UCLA in 2020 & played 4 seasons w/ NYG as a DB/special teamer. Holmes got his 1st NFL INT in NYG win at Seattle during the Covid year on a double tip off Russell Wilson
2023: HBD Bobby Okereke turns 29. #NYGiants signed him as a FA from the Colts & he put up one of the best seasons at LB for NYG in recent memory in 2023. Leading the team w/ 149 tackles & had a career high 4 forced fumbles along w/ 2 picks. Need a big bounce back year in 2025
1986: HBD Pepper Johnson. Late in the #NYGiants blowout win over the Packers, 55-24, Pepper got more playing time & got his 1st career INT, which came off Randy Wright (& got a facemask against him too). Pepper picked off 10 passes in his NYG career. Put Pepper in NYG ROH
.@giants the best rookie performance was Marcus Mbow All I heard was SMACK SMACK. all I saw was SWAT SWAT. Let's go go go. #BaldysBreakdowns
2014: HBD Walter Thurmond III turns 38. #NYGiants signed Thurmond in 2014 after he spent 4 years in Seattle. Expected to play a big part on NYG defense, he was injured after the 2nd game & was lost for the season.
2007: Even more Plaxico Burress birthday highlights. At 6'5", 230 pounds & long arms, Plax could use that length & strength to stiff arm smaller DBs & take off running, as he did here vs the Jets in #NYGiants comeback win over their co-tenants.
