In December 2014, Alec Ogletree was public enemy number one in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Fast forward to the present day, the leaders of East Rutherford’s beloved New York Giants have given him a new label entirely.
“(Ogletree) gives us our defensive quarterback,” general manager Dave Gettleman said earlier this week. “He was a two-time captain with the Rams, voted on by his teammates. He’s a leader, and that’s very important to us.”
Acquired from Los Angeles on March 7 in exchange for their fourth and sixth round picks in this spring’s upcoming draft, Ogletree became the first major addition of the Gettleman era.
