One week later, Northwestern University running back Ron Burton was selected as the franchise’s first draft choice and Syracuse running back Gerhardt Schwedes was selected as the team’s first territorial choice.
Giants Winter Champs
Did you know? The city of New York was introduced to professional football on the same day that the city was introduced to the New York Giants. It was a clear sunny October afternoon in 1925 when the Giants took the field to play against the Frankford Yellow Jackets. The Giants lost their home debut by the score of 14-0 to lower their record to 0-3 after opening with two losses on the road. But more importantly, the New York Giants and professional football had arrived.

However, their victory on January 11, 1970 remains the franchise's only Super Bowl title to date.
Packers Winter Champs

They didn't know it, but that was the beginning of the incredible saga of the Green Bay Packers.
