He not solely represents himself in what he does however he represents all of us. And that goes for anyone who wears a Giants uniform.
“But when he chooses to align himself with a person like President Trump, it’s my accountability primarily based on what I imagine and what I stand on to not solely present my teammates that I’m in opposition to that however to indicate the world.
“And that doesn’t imply that now we have to unfold hate. It doesn’t imply that me and Jaxson hate one another or now we have beef. I sit subsequent to Jaxson daily. Each workforce assembly we’re shut, we speak, you realize, we simply — so long as we ensure that we obtained the identical objective as a workforce and our objectives align, which they do, I really feel like that’s all that issues. So, I simply wish to transfer previous this, and, yeah, that’s it.”
