Rookies Making Big Contributions

bradshawErnie Palladino, Giants beat writer for the Journal News, writes on his blog Giants Journal about how the Giants have a number of rookies making significant contributions.

The Pats and Giants present two different views as far as rookies go. The Pats have just one drafted contributor, first-round DB Brandon Meriweather. But the Giants have had significant contributions from seven of their eight draft picks, most prominently from first-round CB Aaron Ross, second-round WR Steve Smith, and seventh-round RB Ahmad Bradshaw.

General manager Jerry Reese should receive high praise for putting together a squad that should compete for many years to come.
