Happy Birthday to @JustinTuck one of the greatest to ever wear the Golden Helmet. Tuck was an absolute terror on the field with 24.5 sacks, 43 tackles for a loss for a career, and 13 sacks in one season.
He went on to be drafted by the New York Giants where he was a 2× Super Bowl champion (XLII, XLVI), First-team All-Pro (2008), Second-team All-Pro (2010), 2× Pro Bowl (2008, 2010), and was inducted into the New York Giants Ring of Honor.
His success didn’t stop on the field after he retired. Tuck graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business with an MBA in 2018, and was employed by Goldman Sachs.

2007: HBD @JustinTuck. You could make an argument that in #NYGiants upset win in Super Bowl XLII, Tuck could have been named the MVP. In a game NYG D dominated, Tuck was the best player on defense w/ 6 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 QB hits & a forced fumble in 17-14 win
This has me thinking … who’s the all-time starting five from Notre Dame football? Which five guy would you choose for a basketball game?
Knowing very little about their hoops skills, I got…

2004: HBD @FredRobbins255. W/ big names like @michaelstrahan@OsiUmenyiora & @JustinTuck, you still can't forget how important Big Fred was to #NYGiants DL. In his 1st home game & TC's 1st NYG win, Fred had 2 sacks, forced a fumble (set up a TD) & had his 1st NFL INT as well.
@BigBlueVCR@Jfeagles@JustinTuck Such an underrated acquisition. And one of the flaws of the past 3 regimes is our punters suck. I grew up in 70’s with this team. Dave Jennings was one of our best players then. We did suck. Point is we’ve had great punters. Until the last decade.
