How ex-Giants fared during the 2023 regular season

The 2023 regular season has come to a close and now the final four teams are headed into Conference Championship Weekend. In the blink of an eye, the league will be preparing for Super Bowl Sunday.

Several former members of the New York Giants are still coaching and playing, and The Big Game will feature at least a handful of those.

How did those former Giants fare this season? And what about the rest of them?

Given the rate of personnel turnover around the NFL, nearly every roster has a little Big Blue flavor to it. So we’re here to look back on the 2023 season and see how those former Giants produced.
