New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is 30 pounds lighter, has a fresh layer of thickness in his Boston accent and lives in his son’s basement.
And he couldn’t be happier.
Gettleman, the former GM of the Carolina Panthers, was out of football last season after team owner Jerry Richardson fired him unexpectedly last summer.
But his energetic re-emergence at the helm of the Giants seems to agree with him, although he did not expand much on the nature of the events that got him there during his podium session at the NFL scouting combine on Wednesday.
