Q: Do you feel you are ready to come in and make an immediate impact? A: I know I’m ready to come in and make an immediate impact. I know for a fact. I’ve been watching the Giants, they’re on TV all the time. I sit down and watch them, especially this past year. I’ve been really analyzing teams and certain offenses. The Giants have been missing a piece like me. They have a great quarterback and I think Tye, 45, was great for them. I felt that I could be another more dynamic piece at that role. I just always felt that they would look at a guy like me to come in and contribute. I know my skillset. I’m confident in my game and how hard I work. Just the weapons around me, I can’t wait to come in and contribute. Learn from all those guys and take advantage of the opportunity to be a great player for this team. Q: All along did you expect to be a first-round pick? A: I knew I deserved to be and I knew I should be. It’s just what I bring to the table. I’m so dynamic and so confident in myself. I’m not trying to be cocky or anything because that’s 100 percent not it. I’m just really confident in what I can bring to a team. I definitely believe that I should’ve gotten a call in the first round and that someone was getting one of the most dynamic players and best players in the draft. I knew that I should be and I was just praying that I was. I came back for my senior year and that was one of my goals to solidify a first round pick. God has led me through all of this and to hear that tonight with the New York Giants, I knew that it was going to happen, I knew it should happen and I’m blessed that it did. |
This is a great fit for both team and player.
TE is no longer a weakness.
A: Yes. He’s always around Ole Miss in the offseason. There’s been a couple of times I’ve caught a couple of balls for him. Just servicing him and running some routes that he needed. It kind of manifested in those moments I guess, this moment right here. I can’t wait to play with him, learn from him and just be a great player for this team.
I like the pick.
I think he's going to light it up, as he should definitely have the opportunity to. I'd take a risk and draft him high if I played fantasy.
Besides what he brings on the field, I really like all the other stuff.
the freak ability / sky high potential is also nice. I love this pick.
Personally, I love this kid. Love the pick, even though I never thought it would happen.
Link - ( New Window )
The dude sounds like a football player. As "clean" as a team could hope for. No doubt about his love for the game or his effort.
He's going to be what Shockey could have been but never was. Nothing against Shockey, but he partied himself out of greatness.
This guy is going to kill it in the NFL.
this kid is a difference maker - a true upgrade in an area that the Giants use and have made do with very sub par talent
He is a smart young man, and he is saying all the right things. Confident, but also diplomatic. He sounds like a worker, and there is no question he has the physical skills.
A great pick imv.
21 years old, big, fast, athletic...willing to block.
Maybe the 11 drops?
I wish we could know what it is they didn't like.
Njoku is a bit raw.
I'm betting that was the difference maker for the Giants.
:p
