Giants’ French import learned to play football from video games

It began by playing a video game: “NFL Quarterback Club ’98” with Brett Favre on the cover. It was actually 2005, and Anthony Dablé was 17 years old when he became hooked on the game. He was living in Grenoble, France, at the time and had never seen an American football game in person.

Fast-forward to Wednesday at the Giants training facility in East Rutherford, N.J., and even Dablé marvels at the journey that has him among the free-agent wide receivers competing for a spot on the 2016 roster.

“I just played that video game again the other day,” he told The Post.
