Despite the fact that his time with the Giants ended in disaster, Jenkins was by far the team’s best cornerback from 2016 to 2019. He was a key contributor to the Giants’ defensive resurgence in 2016, locking down opposing receivers, most notably Dallas’ Dez Bryant.
Saquon Barkley, No. 8

Highlights of the decade: Inducted into the Giants Ring of Honour after winning Super Bowl 46 and the Pro Bowl in 2010.
Justin Tuck would only play four seasons with the Giants this decade, from 2010 to 2013, but he’s No. 5 on our list because he had one of his best games of his career in the Giants’ biggest game of the decade (Super Bowl 46). He sacked Tom Brady twice and forced him to commit an intentional ground penalty, which resulted in a safety.
