The signing of Stewart was received with mix reaction amongst fans because the New York Giants did need a veteran running back, but Stewart is coming off a career-low 3.4 yards per carry and he’ll turn 31 next week.
But Stewart still believes he has a lot left in the tank, and he’s a player that general manager Dave Gettleman trusts. He’s also a great locker room guy which is something the Giants are in need of after how tremulous it was last season. Gettleman told Michael Eisen of NYGiants.com:
I am very pleased that we were able to make Jonathan a New York Football Giant.
