Sterling Shepard debuted his new No. 3 jersey from the sideline Saturday night, sitting out along with many of the Giants’ starters. Given it was a Giants-Jets preseason game at MetLife Stadium, though, it was hard to see him and not think of another receiver who once wore that single digit to unexpected prominence.
"I’m excited to see Shep out there wearing that ‘trey’ and being great," former Giant Victor Cruz said just before the start of the game.
