When an undrafted rookie from a Division II program on Long Island switches positions at the NFL level and plays in his first preseason game, expectations should not be high.
Jake Carlock shattered them.
The LIU Post product and Babylon native was the star of the second half for the Giants. He jumped high in the air to tip a pass from Jets quarterback Davis Webb, caught the ball as it came back toward the ground for an interception, then returned it 59 yards for a touchdown. The score with 4:15 remaining in the third quarter gave the Giants a 24-15 lead at MetLife Stadium.
