Dwayne Harris ignites Giants with touchdown returns

Dwayne Harris has done something this season no Giant had done in six decades.

The ex-Cowboy, who signed with Big Blue as a free agent this offseason, scored on an 80-yard punt return last week against the Jets. He also had a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown vs. Dallas in Week 7, making him just the third player in Giants history with kickoff and punt return touchdowns in the same season and the first to do so since Jimmy Patton in 1955. Pro Football Hall of Famer Emlen Tunnell also accomplished the feat in 1951.

“It’s not about me,” Harris said today after practice at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
