For those of us who remember him, he was a great linebacker for the Giants in the 70's and early 80's when the team was mostly pretty bad. Though it is obviously true that Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Carl Banks, etc. are credited with making the Giants a great defensive team, Van Pelt was instrumental in changing the team's strength to defense and paving the way for the championship defenses that followed. I also remember he was a terrific athlete and kicked off for the Giants for a time. Condolences to his family. I just read that Brad Van Pelt passed away today at the age of 57.
