Strahan goes from DE to TV to HOF
Michael Strahan had one objective in mind when he came to the New york giants as a second-round draft pick in 1993 out of Texas Southern. ''My goal when i first started was just to make a little money so i didn't have to move back to my parents' house, '' he says. ''I didn't want to disappoint my parents. So that was my goal, cheap authentic jerseys to kind of just make my parents proud, make them happy, play as hard and just do the best I could do. ''
The best he could do was pretty good: Strahan will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Strahan was the leader of a defense that stunned the undefeated Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl. He holds the single-season mark for sacks with 22 1-2 in 2001 - yeah, we know all about Brett Favre's ''dive'' Nike nfl jerseys cheap authentic for the record-setting sack. He retired with 141 1-2 sacks, seven Pro Bowl appearances and four All-Pro team selections.
And while he was a game-changer on the field, he was making his mark elsewhere with his gregarious personality, gap-toothed nfl jerseys cheap smile and willingness to step out of his comfort zone. He became a regular in commercials, most notably for Subway.
