Football Players who Played for Chargers and Giants
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Los Angeles Chargers and the New York Giants.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Chargers and Giants.
Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod Taylor was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 6th round of the 2011 NFL Draft and served as a backup to Joe Flacco for four seasons, earning a Super Bowl ring in Super Bowl XLVII.
Taylor got his chance to start when he signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2015. His dual-threat ability as a passer and runner was key in leading the Bills to their first playoff appearance in 17 seasons in 2017.
However, his time as a starter in Buffalo lasted for only three seasons and he has since gone on to backup roles with the Browns, Chargers, Texans and Giants.

Steve Christie
Steve Christie was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1989. He played in the NFL as a placekicker for 15 seasons, spending time with the Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, and New York Giants.
Christie is best known for his time with the Bills, where he played for nine seasons and became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. During his career, he made 336 out of 431 field goal attempts (78%) and 468 out of 473 extra point attempts (98.9%). His career-long field goal was 59 yards.
One of his most memorable moments came in the 1992 AFC Wild Card game, known as “The Comeback,” where he kicked the game-winning 32-yard field goal in overtime, capping the largest comeback in NFL history. Christie’s accuracy and clutch kicking helped him achieve a successful and lengthy career in the league.
Linval Joseph
Linval Joseph was drafted in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. He has also played for the Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles in his NFL career.
Joseph is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, earning the honors in 2016 and 2017 (both with the Vikings). He has recorded over 600 total tackles, more than 25 sacks, and has 8 forced fumbles to his name.
Joseph was part of the New York Giants team that won Super Bowl XLVI, beating the New England Patriots. Throughout his career, he has been recognized as one of the more dominant interior defensive linemen in the league.
