Leonard Williams’ Giants career begins Monday night against the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium, the place where he played home games for the past four-plus seasons with the Jets before being traded Monday.
But, for the first time, Williams will dress for the game in a different locker room and wear a different colored uniform. And the big question about the 6-foot-5, 305-pound defensive lineman is whether he’ll be the same player for the Giants as the one he was in the 71 games he played for the Jets.
If that’s the case, then Williams will become as confounding a player to Giants fans as he was to Jets fans, who always expected more from him after being selected with the sixth-overall pick in the 2015 draft.
