EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Will Hernandez stands 6-foot-2, on the smaller side for a guard. He was drafted with the second pick of the second round (No. 34 overall) by the New York Giants. He was described as strong and “cranky,” a compliment in this case, according to coach Pat Shurmur.
It’s a familiar description and story. Fourteen years earlier, when Hernandez was a 9-year-old soccer player in Nevada, the Giants took a cranky 6-foot-2 guard with the 34th overall pick in the draft.
