Talk about a perfect marriage that almost was. The 1990 Giants, on the brink of another Super Bowl title under Bill Parcells, could have landed back-to-back All-Pros at tight end -- beginning with Mark Bavaro (1985-90) and ending with Sharpe, the NFL's all-time receptions leader for tight ends and a dead-lock cinch for Canton someday. Instead, the Giants took USC's Aaron Emanuel at No. 191 and would have to wait 12 years for an impact tight end (Jeremy Shockey).
