Report: Ex-Giants WR Hakeem Nicks attempting NFL comeback
Posted Apr 24, 2019
Hakeem Nicks last appeared in the NFL in 2015. But Nicks never officially retired, and now we know why. Earlier this week, Nicks was spotted running routes for Eli Manning, and it wasn’t just for his health. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that Nicks has been working with Manning all offseason as he attempts to work his way back into the league.
