Former New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi died at the age of 84, leaving behind a legacy that extends far beyond the blockbuster trade for Eli Manning.

Dexter Henry looks back at Accorsi’s 37-year NFL front-office career, his decision to hire Tom Coughlin and the championship foundation he assembled in New York. From Manning to Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, Chris Snee and Brandon Jacobs, Accorsi’s vision helped shape the Giants teams that captured Super Bowls XLII and XLVI.
