EAST RUTHERFORD (N.J.) — Michael Strahan’s No. The 92 will never be worn again. The New York GiantsHalftime Sunday saw the retirement of the legendary defensive finish’s number as the hosts of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Strahan played all 15 years of his professional career with the Giants. He was also a successful participant in the Tremendous bowl, his last season before he walked off to the TV sunset. He is the franchise’s all time chief in sacks (1141.5), holds 22.5 sack files for the NFL and was a fourtime All-Professional.
Strahan said, “I in no way dreamed of that.” “I am just so grateful to have found this place.”
It is the official end of his soccer journey. He was previously inducted into both the Giants’ Ring of Honor (and the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame).
Strahan is well-known for his achievements off the field and his on-field efficiency. He currently serves as a lot on ABC’s “Good Morning America” or Fox’s NFL Sunday. He is set to be a star on Hollywood’s Stroll of Fame next year.
This completes his circle 28 years ago, when he was drafted during the second spherical of Texas Southern.
“To be here right now doesn’t necessarily mean that my journey has ended. It just means that I am complete in my uniform. I want to thank you [the fans]Thanks for going on a 15 year journey with me. “I like you, New York Giants supporters,” he said.
Strahan was inducted again into the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame, in 2014. He was the thirteenth number in Giants history to be retired.
Strahan was stunned by the decision to retire his jersey. No. Since that 2007 season, no one has worn No.
“What took so long?” Strahan stated earlier in the week that he was not in any way ungrateful and still regards it as a huge honor.
Sunday’s ceremony had Strahan and his family on stage, Jessie Armstead, ex Giants linebacker, Tom Coughlin, ex-coach Tom Coughlin as well as homeowners John Mara, Steve Tisch and Steve Tisch. Mara and Tisch appeared to have been strategically not launched in the first part of the ceremony.
However, Strahan’s introduction of the Mara- and Tisch families during his speech was met with gentle booing. Mara was booed in a loud voice earlier this year during a retirement ceremony for Eli Manning, the legendary quarterback.
At halftime, the Eagles were 3-0 ahead of the Giants (3-7). Strahan seemed to believe it was only a matter time before the group is in better form.
Strahan stated, “We’ll probably be back again.” Strahan stated, “We will likely be up once again. I can promise you that.”
