Kyle Lauletta waited, and waited, and waited for an opportunity to play in a game last season. Impatient New York Giants fans, after watching the team start 1-7, were screaming for the rookie fourth-round pick to get that opportunity.
Coach Pat Shurmur kept telling anyone who would listen that Lauletta, who played collegiately at Richmond, an FCS school, wasn’t yet ready to be an NFL quarterback.
In Week 14, a 40-16 blowout victory by the Giants over the Washington Redskins, Lauletta finally got the opportunity many had been waiting to see.
