Avery Moss was almost always one of the best defensive players on the field. In the NFL, that makes him a little vulnerable.
That’s because as a rookie defensive end on the Giants his first job likely will not be rushing a passer or stuffing a running back but covering a kickoff or blocking for a punt returner. In other words, something completely foreign to him.
“I’d never even watched a down of special teams before, until I came here,” Moss admitted on Saturday. “It’s definitely an eye-opening experience for me.”
Moss got a taste of specials teams play in Saturday’s practice, a physical workout that included full-speed special teams drills.
