The road to a productive NFL career can have many turns, we see it every year with kickers and punters, who drift in and out of the league, team to team until they finally connect. Offensive linemen often take years to find a spot in a starting lineup. Eagles tight end Anthony Denham is hoping […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today switched rookie wide receivers on their roster, signing Jerome Lane from the University of Akron and waiving Jalen Williams of Massachusetts. Lane, 6-3 and 220 pounds, was with the Indianapolis Colts from May 4-15. He played three seasons for the Zips, the first as a linebacker and the […]
It is not often, in the sport of football, that a defensive player scores, let alone a defensive lineman. It is extremely rare for a defensive lineman to scoop up a fumble with about 40 seconds left in a game your team was trailing by five points and take it 39 yards to the house […]

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – “No comment” apparently is not part of Brandon Marshall’s lexicon. The 12-year veteran and first-season Giants wide receiver spoke to the media after the today’s organized team activity (OTA), and no question was off-limits. Not the criticism hurled at him last week by Sheldon Richardson, the Jets’ defensive lineman and his […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today added two veteran defenders who have played in 102 NFL games and registered a combined 306 tackles (including playoffs). The newcomers are defensive end Devin Taylor, formerly of the Detroit Lions, and safety Duke Ihenacho, who began his career with the Denver Broncos and played the previous three […]
There are coaches who, when discussing the offseason training techniques they use to get their team ready for the upcoming season, will try to impress you with high-tech terminology you might need a sports thesaurus nearby to find out what they’re talking about.
