Sterling Shepard has ditched the non-contact jersey.
A big step? No one with the Giants seemed to think so.
“I didn’t think the yellow jersey was doing much anyway,” the wide receiver said after Sunday’s practice. “It’s not that big of a difference.”
It’s true that Shepard had been practicing pretty much since he fractured the tip of his left thumb in the first workout of training camp. It’s also true that few players on offense or defense seemed to notice. Shepard would be thumped regularly and thrown into traffic often, two of the many dangers that the wardrobe was supposed to ward off.
