When the Giants rookies were forced into a locker room dance contest in front of the veterans early in training camp, one set of moves stood out above the others. It was undrafted receiver Roger Lewis Jr.’s shimmying and wild gyration that most impressed the likes of Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr.
So enchanted was Manning by the moves, in fact, that before Thursday night’s preseason game against the Patriots, the starting quarterback pulled the rookie aside and gave him an order.
“He was like: “ ‘Hey, let’s go out and score a touchdown. I want to see you do that dance,’ ” Lewis said of his conversation.
