Why?
That was the question Austin Droogsma asked himself when he saw the New York Giants were calling him. Were they trying to sell him tickets? Had he won some sort of contest? Maybe it was just a wrong number?
Surely they didn’t want him to play football, a sport he had excelled at in high school but abandoned to become one of the NCAA's top shot putters at Florida State.
Actually, that was exactly what they wanted. And by the time Droogsma hung up the phone and the conversation this past spring ended, he had agreed to sign with them as a free agent.
