Every day in the NFL is an adventure. For Nick Gates, that is especially true.
“They’ve been throwing me around,” the offensive lineman told Newsday after Monday’s first padded practice of the preseason. “I just go out to practice and they let me know where I am going for the day.”
Some days it will be mostly at center, as it was on Monday. Other days it might be right tackle or guard. The Giants signed Gates to a lucrative two-year extension at the start of training camp, making sure they keep him around for the time being.
