* '''Michael Strahan''' was a d-lineman for the New York Giants, who drafted him in the second round in 1993 out of the HBCU Texas Southern.

The 22.5 mark has also since been tied by T.J. Watt in 2021.[[/note]] Despite being a seven-time Pro Bowler, a Hall of Famer, and having his #92 retired by the Giants after setting the franchise records for tackles and games played (before being surpassed by late-career teammate Eli Manning), he may be more well known for being "the TV host with the enormous gap in his front teeth" than he is for his stellar football career. After retiring in 2007 following the Giants' first upset Super Bowl victory over the Patriots, Strahan spun off his on-field success in one of America's premier media markets into one of the most prolific TV host careers of the 21st century. He joined the analyst team for FOX's NFL coverage, though he has been frequently moved around in part to accommodate his growing list of non-football live TV shows. First, he co-hosted the morning television talk show ''Live!'' alongside Kelly Ripa, replacing long-time co-host Creator/RegisPhilbin from 2012 to 2016. He left (amid rumors of friction on the set) to become co-anchor of ABC's ''Good Morning America''. Also in 2016, he became host of the current version of the ''Series/{{Pyramid}}'' game show.

Nicknamed "the Ageless Wonder" in the '90s for putting up great seasons year after year, Green set countless records, including the most games played by a defensive player in NFL history, 19 consecutive seasons with an interception (except his final year), the most games and interceptions by any player in Washington franchise history, and... well, basically every "oldest ever" DB record imaginable. He was also a beloved figure for the fanbase and the DC area, winning Walter Payton Man of the Year in 1996. He was selected to seven Pro Bowls, helped his team win two Super Bowls, and was voted into the Hall of Fame in his first eligible year.
