Hakeem Nicks adjusts easily to Giant status

Posted Dec 26, 2009
When Hakeem Nicks makes the daily seven-minute commute from his home in Clifton, N.J., to his office - Giants Stadium in nearby East Rutherford - he's careful. "That's the one thing about living in New Jersey," said Nicks. "It's the traffic. They're pretty reckless up here." That's about the only adjustment Nicks has had to make, as a 21-year old who grew up in the South and now is finding his way around one of the world's largest population centers.
