Will Hernandez has overcome bleak past to make it to Giants

When folks around the Giants talk about Will Hernandez, the rookie guard from UTEP who was drafted in the second round, they always point to a bright future.

Former Giants guard Chris Snee said the player who is often compared to him (and even selected with the same 34th overall pick) has “all the potential in the world” when asked about him earlier this week. Chris Mara, the team’s vice president of player evaluation, called Hernandez “probably my favorite player in the draft” when he spoke on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio last week.

“He comes from the Richie Seubert school,” Mara said.
