New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo said Wednesday that he and his staff "felt like we were recruiting again in college" when the team pitched Olivier Vernon on the idea of joining the Giants organization.
The Giants won the recruiting battle for Vernon, added defensive tackle Damon Harrison, cornerback Janoris Jenkins, re-signed Jason Pierre-Paul, and added middle linebackers Keenan Robinson and Jasper Brinkley for good measure in an unprecedented spending spree.
McAdoo and the Giants are thrilled with what they accomplished, though there is much more to be done to fix a team that has had three straight losing seasons.
