Damon Harrison

It was 13 months ago when Damon “Snacks’’ Harrison essentially said thanks but no thanks. The 2017 season was about to begin and the Giants had not yet announced their team captains. If elected, Harrison stated he would decline to serve.

“I’m not a leader,’’ he explained.

One week into this year’s training camp, Harrison is not exactly singing a different tune but he is at least humming along. He is the fulcrum on a defensive line that features a rookie (B.J. Hill) lined up on one side of him and a second-year player (Dalvin Tomlinson) on the other.
