EAST RUTHERFORD — Bobby Hart is striving to prove himself the kind of player the Giants have sorely lacked in recent seasons.
General manager Jerry Reese has been criticized for the team's lack of success finding contributing players in the later rounds of the NFL Draft. But the Giants hope Hart, a 2015 seventh-round pick out of Florida State, is on his way to becoming a rare third-day find.
After appearing in nine games as a rookie with one start, Hart has been the Giants' starting right tackle for the last eight games.
