Brett Jones remembers the conversation vividly.
The center for the Calgary Stampeders was about to leave for a real-live NFL tryout with the Giants, and his offensive line coach, Pat DelMonaco, was talking with the head coach and general manager, John Hufnagel.
They wished Jones good luck.
“We both said the same thing without even talking to each other: “We’re never gonna see him again,’ ’’ DelMonaco told The Post.
Well, DelMonaco saw Jones recently, but not back in Canadian province of Alberta. DelMonaco, a Giants fan from Sleepy Hollow, watched intently on TV last Sunday as Justin Pugh went down in the second quarter with a sprained knee and Jones moved in as the starting left guard.
