It was easy to forget.
Watching all the Giants’ work this spring, all the time on the field, all the 7-on-7 drills and full-team periods, seeing quarterbacks Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston and Brandon Allen firing the ball hither and yon to a bevy of targets — wide receivers, tight ends and running backs — it was easy to forget who was not out there.
Catches made, some routine, others more noteworthy. Yards after the catch. Tosses out of the backfield. Deep balls and over-the-shoulder receptions. There is no live rush to harass the throwers and no full pads worn to knock around the offensive playmakers. And, perhaps most importantly, no chance whatsoever for a punishing hit across the middle, a lack of fear that tends to empower guys who make a living hauling in the football.
