CLOSE The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton explains the extreme angst of Giants fans after drafting Daniel Jones and why they won't get any answers soon. USA TODAYAs rookie minicamps across the league commenced this weekend, I’m compelled to weigh in as an observer who has witnessed the NFL arrivals and departures of hundreds over the years.
Oh, so you have no idea who in the heck Glanville is? Well, coaches recycle, too. He once coached the Falcons, installed a run-and-shoot offense and left tickets at will call for Elvis.GIANT QUESTIONS: Daniel Jones ready to stand up to criticism in debut at Giants rookie campYou may have been the big man on campus in college, voted most likely to succeed in high school and hailed as a prodigy in Pop Warner football, but now you’re surrounded by peers who similarly carry impressive credentials.
I’ve often run into retired players, hobbling because of old injuries, insist they’d do it all over again. I believe them. That’s true passion. Meanwhile, take care of that body. James Harrison, who had enough gas to run 100 yards with an interception return TD in Super Bowl XLIII, used to spend $300,000 per year on various specialists to train and maintain his body. Yes, it was a tax write-off. And Harrison, who entered the league as a undrafted free agent and was cut multiple times before getting on the track to become the Steelers’ all-time sack artist, played 15 NFL seasons.
There are too many cases, though, where poor financial management and bad advice have left players who have seemingly struck it rich holding the bag. Now that preparations are in full swing to learn the playbook, remember this: It doesn’t matter now where – or if – you were drafted. Yes, it will affect the size of your rookie contract. And the higher picks will get more favorable practice reps.Tom Brady, the guy with the TB12 Method, is the best example. He was a sixth-round pick. Just like Antonio Brown, now the NFL’s best receiver. The aforementioned Rice was the third receiver drafted in 1985, 16th overall.
