Trivia
- Feagles wore number 10 during his first year with the Giants in 2003. After the Giants drafted Eli Manning, he agreed to switch to number 17, coinciding with the number of seasons he was entering that year. The next year, upon the signing of Plaxico Burress from free agency in 2005, Feagles again sold off his number 17, agreeing to wear 18 instead (2006 was his 18th year), in exchange for a new outdoor BBQ addition to his house.
- Jeff Feagles was the kicker for the 1983 Miami Hurricanes national championship team.
- Jeff is one of the few remaining punters in the NFL to utilize the "coffin corner", the art of pinning an opponent deep in their own territory.
