Second-year OL Weston Richburg happy to be back at center

Like most offensive linemen, Weston Richburg dislikes being the center of attention but enjoys being in the middle of the action.

So Richburg, the Giants’ 2014 second-round draft choice, is thrilled to be back at center, his natural position. As a rookie last year, Richburg started 15 games at left guard. But the Giants wanted him to be their long-term center. They released J.D. Walton, who started every game last year, to open up the position for Richburg, who played there with the starters throughout the spring practices.

The center and left guard line up next to each other, but to Richburg they might has well be a mile apart.
