First, I fired up my search engine. I just typed in “Bob Tucker NY Giants”, figuring I’d get a quick bio, some stats, maybe a Wikipedia page. Instead, I got a mix of stuff, some of it relevant, some of it…not so much.
Digging Through the Weeds
I started sifting through the results. There were a few mentions of a Bob Tucker who played tight end for the Giants way back when. The initial results were kinda sparse, which surprised me. I figured, with a team as big as the Giants, there’d be a huge digital footprint for any former player, you know?

He wasn’t a superstar, but he was definitely a valuable part of the team during his time. It was also intersting to find that he played for quite a few years.
