NEWTOWN, Pa. -- Eli Manning is the longest-tenured player on the New York Giants offense by a wide margin entering his 14th professional season. After Manning it’s starting left guard Justin Pugh, who has been with the Giants the longest now that Victor Cruz was released earlier this offseason.
Despite still being on his rookie contract -- even though it’s a fifth-year team option worth $8.8 million this season -- Pugh is a seasoned veteran. He’s learned through trial and error, on and off the field.
It was evident again Sunday when he hosted his third annual Pugh Crew Summer Kickoff camp back home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, at Council Rock High School North.
