How Giants rookie Joshua Ezeudu turned 'Welcome to NFL' moment into game-changing lesson

Posted Sep 18, 2022
"I've seen a lot of really good players crumble when they make a bad play," coach Bobby Johnson said of Joshua Ezeudu, the Giants' third-round pick from UNC who turns 23 Monday. "That kid took the coaching and made some very key blocks. That's huge for a young kid, and hopefully we can turn that one play into a building block for plays down the road." (NorthJersey.com)
