NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — As far as Kenrick Ellis is concerned, the grass is definitely greener in Giants’ blue.
The former reserve defensive lineman for the Jets spoke candidly recently with the New York Post, revealing some subtle and not-so-subtle difference between the two franchises.
Ellis signed a one-year, $1.65 million deal with the Giants during the offseason after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Jets. He said he doesn’t want people to think his time with the Jets wasn’t enjoyable; it’s just that the Giants are the better organization.
Ellis, who was selected in the third round of the 2011 draft out of Hampton, cited Big Blue’s quarterback situation, coaching and attention to detail as far superior to what the Jets had to offer.
