Scott Simonson is going from the street to the starting lineup.
Two weeks after he was fielding offers to try out for NFL teams, he will start at tight end Sunday for the injury-plagued Giants against the Bears.
First assignment? Help double-team block former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack, edge rusher Leonard Floyd and the rest of a defense ranked No. 9 in yards allowed per game and No. 4 in points allowed per game.
“It’s a crazy league, and it’s not meant for everyone,” Simonson quipped.
It all worked out as planned for the Giants.
