So when he came back, he only played part time, but made the best out of every snap. Nebraska HC raved about him.

Anyone who can come back from a dreaded ACL tear, and be able to play hard and be effective, is a remarkable person, first, and athlete, next. To do the same ACL TWICE, both before ever setting foit on the collegiate gridiron, and having an undoubtable will to overcome that same obstacle TWICE, is an amazing and inspiring human being. That's even before he has buckled his chinstraps for his first practice.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to see a trend here that the Giants have drafted players of strong mind, heart, will and determination, in addition to talent, that I cannot seem to shake the idea that Schoen and Daboll are looking for players with a certain mindset to build and evolve the Giants culture into something much more closer to the heart and meaningful to truly make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. I can tell they have tried, but this draft is going to make a difference once they're fully indoctrinated with the team. These kids coming in are going to shape the unity in the locker room in ways that will translate on the football field for us all to enjoy and celebrate.

One more to go and fingers crossed for another hard working, inspirational leader-type player to round out arguably one of their best drafts in decades.

Peace!

Lol, the spider chart is an excellent KPI representation of the performance elements of a system or, in this case, a person.

We use these all the time in the Engineering Management world.

Peace!
