Amani Toomer played 13 seasons for the New York Giants from 1996-2008. He was a member of the Super Bowl XLII championship team in 2008 when the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots 17-14. Amani retired with 668 receptions, 9,497 receiving yards, and 54 touchdowns. His 9,497 receiving yards is the franchise's all-time record.

Amani was signing autographs during Super Bowl week at the Walmart in Kearny, NJ. My goal was to get a mini helmet and 5x7 photo signed by him. I didn't arrive on time, but lucky for me it wasn't too crowded. Pepsi sponsored the autograph signing and had some really nice 8x10 photos of Amani catching a pass during Super Bowl XLII. Amani was really cool about signing multiple items.

Amani is truly a great guy. I'm glad he played his whole career in New York and it was a pleasure meeting him. Thank you Pepsi and Walmart for this great event.
