"My friends have been unbelievable," he said at the time. "The guys I went to high school with, I saw the other night. They were telling me that as they watched the Super Bowl, they had tears in their eyes, remembering how we were all together at Southern Columbia. They said they lived the rest of their football years through me. It all started here. I've truly been fortunate to have been surrounded by great people in my hometown area."

Former Giants linebacker Chase Blackburn, who won two Super Bowls with Big Blue, had a private boulevard in Jersey City's McGinley Square named after him. Blackburn intercepted Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVI for the game's only turnover.
