New York Giants great Michael Strahan has been asked by owner John Mara to be an honorary captain this upcoming Sunday vs the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Joining number 92 will be Mark Bavaro and Rich Seubert.

The Giants have a handful of retired players who are considered "All Time" team greats. Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, Phil Simms come to mind right away and of course the great Michael Strahan! Other players like Mark Bavaro, Joe Morris, Maurice Carthon are also part of this select group.

Number 92 however is the most recent retired great and is also New York's 6th man (cheap use of some basketball terminology). On Thursday night Strahan tweeted the following:

As much of an honor that it is for Michael to be asked by John Mara to be an honorary captain it is also an honor for fans to have him be one. Strahan was not only a great player for the Giants but a leader. He played hard every game even when the Giants had horrible offensive teams who never provided the Giants a chance to win despite having good defensive performances.

He has shined as a football analyst for FOX and usually finds himself regulating colleagues who are doubters of the GMEN. However, he keeps it real and calls it how he sees it when the team isn't playing to it's full potential. It's going to be a privilege for fans to have Michael Strahan as an Honorary Captain on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers!
