It’s time to knock a couple of points off Zach Ertz’s reputation as a Giants-killer.
Ertz has scored 20 percent of his touchdowns during a six-year career against the Giants, and the last one (No. 7) was a Dec. 10 overtime game-winner. But he also unknowingly helped deliver a promising rookie to his NFC East rival when he advised a fellow Stanford tight end.
Kaden Smith — who had Giants fans excitedly asking “Who?” after he caught two touchdown passes, including his own overtime game-winner, Sunday against the Redskins — said one of his calls before forgoing a year of NCAA eligibility to enter the 2019 NFL Draft was to Ertz.
