    People are calling you the new face of the Giants franchise. How do you handle the attention you’ve been getting since being drafted by the Giants? A: People expect me to be this, to be that. Obviously people shape a career for me, or shape what I should be. But I already have a high standard for myself. I really don’t feel pressure from no one at all.

    What do you think about your coach Pat Shurmur? A: Coach Shurmur knows the game very well. He’s very interactive with the players.He’s a leader. He’s very vocal. Having him as a coach as a rookie has helped me tremendously.

    How is it being a part of this Giants offense with Eli & Odel? A: This is a very talented offense. You’ve got an established quarterback, a proven quarterback with two Super Bowl rings, two Super Bowl MVPs. You’ve got one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, if not the best. In my opinion, personally, I think so. And you’ve got a young wide receiving corps and adding offensive linemen Will Hernandez and Nate Solder to the offensive line. If I can have the success that I had in college football, I think I would fit perfect in this offense. But right now, the way I see myself is coming in and learning from the guys, from the older guys, and lead at a young age. Getting the playbook and taking it day by day.

    Has the NFL been what you expected? Is it easier, more difficult or what you expected? I think its what I expected. I knew it was going to be tough. With the help of my teammates and the vets I have had a very easy adjustment going into the NFL. I have had a lot of help. I just have a hard time with losing.

    How disappointed were you with the start of this season? It sucks. I’m not gonna lie. I hate losing. We all hate losing. 1-5 is not acceptable, we’re too talented to be 1-5. Since than we’ve been doing much better.
