More than a decade after playing in his last NFL game, Michael Strahan’s New York Giants teammates had one last surprise for him.
“I’m still in shock. This is a moment I will always remember,” Strahan wrote on Twitter after the surprise. “Thank you @EliManning , @JustinTuck, @Jessiearmstead , and my @GMA team for this amazing surprise.”
“To the @Giants organization and fans,” he added. “Let’s get Metlife Stadium rocking on 11.28! See you there!!”
The Giants will host the Philadelphia Eagles on the day of Strahan’s jersey retirement.
The Patriots lost to New York 17-14, ending their hopes to complete an undefeated season. Four months after earning his Super Bowl ring, Strahan announced his retirement, saying, “It’s time. I’m done.”
