Hakeem Nicks motivated for big year with N.Y. Giants Posted Aug 20, 2013 This is a big year for Hakeem Nicks. The New York Giants' wide receiver has the potential to clean up in free agency next March. But first, Nicks must prove that he's the same playmaker he was before foot and knee injuries derailed his 2012 season. Nicks said his groin is now 100 percent. He said the injuries he's dealt with over the past 15 months have served as a "learning experience." (NFL.com)
