When New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman signed 10-year veteran running back Jonathan Stewart in March, he thought he was getting a great locker room presence that could mentor the younger players and be productive on the field when his name is called.
While Stewart’s new teammates have given him nothing but praise the type of teammate he is, his production on the field in the Giants three preseason games has been non-existent.
This pre-season, Stewart has carried the ball 10 times for minus five yards. Worst of all he fumbled in the first quarter of the Giants 22-16 victory over the New York Jets Friday night when the Giants had the ball inside the Jets 10-yard line.
