In 2011, the New York Giants signed undrafted free agent Mark Herzlich of Boston College.  The middle linebacker made some starts last year before hurting his ankle sidelining him for the rest of the season, including sitting out for Super Bowl XLVI.

Now, Herzlich is back, he’s healthy, and even though Chase Blackburn is starting at middle linebacker right now, Herzlich’s time is coming.  I won’t be surprised if he steals that starting spot.

So without any more rambling, here are some pictures of Mark Herzlich!

Yes…that would be his signature eye black.  Not bad, right?

Here’s what he actually looks like!

Like the hair?  Here’s a backview.

Time for some action shots!

Sometimes the eye black gets messy…

Best of luck to Mark Herzlich this season as he tries to stay healthy and aim to start on his journey to repeating a Super Bowl championship
