We had a story about a Giant from the Super Bowl-winning team of 1990-1991 going to prison for 30 years for raping a woman. Now, it's time for a story about another Giant on that team.
Leonard Marshall's new career path leads to high school

Leonard Marshall probably doesn't need to worry much about discipline, even as a first-year high school head coach. If his players act up, all he has to do is show them a clip of "The Hit."
You know, the blind-sided shot the former Giants defensive end put on Joe Montana in the fourth quarter of the 1990 NFC championship game that ended Joe Cool's career with the 49ers and propelled the G-Men to their second Super Bowl victory under Bill Parcells. One of the most legendary hits in NFL history, it left Montana with cracked ribs, a broken hand and feeling like he was on death's doorstep.
Even though Marshall's current players weren't even born then, they're certainly familiar with the play.
"It comes up a lot," Marshall said. "YouTube and all that stuff from all my days on the ‘Howard Stern Show,' they pull up stuff from my games against the Redskins and all that kind of stuff. These kids are no joke, man."
Now nearly two decades later, Marshall is a rookie head coach at Hudson Catholic High School, a private school of just over 400 students in Jersey City, N.J., just 10 miles away from where he starred with the Giants. Marshall got the job this spring despite having no formal coaching experience.
It goes into his future dream job. It's a good read.
