Hakeem Nicks adjusting well to life in the NFL

Posted Jun 25, 2009
Hakeem Nicks doesn't mind the pressure of being the man replacing Plaxico Burress in the New York Giants receiving corps. In fact, the man who holds every major receiving record at the University of North Carolina told the Insiders, "I have to be myself. That is what I have been doing to get myself to this point." He also credited Butch Davis with turning around the Tar Heel's football program. (WRAL Sports Fan)
