Alec Ingold’s meeting with the Giants last week was unusual, to be sure, as it included just a bit of good-natured trash talking, which is not the norm when a player hoping to make an impression during interviews with NFL personnel. But that is what went down when the Wisconsin fullback sat down at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., with Craig Johnson, the Giants’ running backs coach.
Johnson spent six years as an assistant coach at Northwestern, and as anyone in the Midwest can attest, Big Ten passion runs deep for those involved.
