Giants' Burton Burns: It's like deja vu about Joe Judge's start as coach

Joe Judge learned from some of the best coaches ever. The weight of that experience, along with their recommendations, are among the reasons why he was hired to be the head coach of the Giants.

Judge, of course, has gone to great lengths to insist that he is his own man and will be his own coach.

But at least one person who was on hand for the start of one legend sees plenty of similarities now being around Judge for the start of his tenure.

Giants running backs coach Burton Burns was part of Nick Saban’s staff when they arrived at Alabama in 2007.
