Seriously, throw any curve ball you have at the 30-year-old former Syracuse defender who grew up in the toughest part of northern Philadelphia.
Oh sure, you might temporarily knock McClain down, but just as quickly, he’s going to pop back up like a child’s air-inflated punching bag, give you a snarl and ask, “Is that the best you got?”
These days, McClain, last year’s Giants team leader with 116 tackles (a career-high), finds himself in a familiar role: a fight for a roster spot and a fight to be a part of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s new defense.
