All the ingredients are there for a nice homecoming tale.
Giants rookie defensive back Julian Love, who grew up in Chicago, returns to the city where he learned to play football and from where he says he draws his competitive nature.
Up in the stands at Solider Field, where he used to sit and watch Bears games, will be friends and family coming out to support him. Down on the turf he’ll be walking in the footsteps of some of his favorite players growing up like Devin Hester, Peanut Tillman and Brian Urlacher.
