Hakeem Nicks not into the guessing game

Posted Apr 21, 2009
It would only make sense for the New York Giants to take Hakeem Nicks with 29th pick in the NFL Draft on Saturday. The Giants, a season removed from a historic Super Bowl upset, need a receiver after parting ways with Plaxico Buress. Nicks, UNC's record-setting receiver, fits the bill and figures to be available when the Giants are on the clock. Not that Nicks has packed his bags for New York. (Raleigh News & Observer)
