Hakeem Nicks goes without a catch in his hometown

Posted Sep 23, 2013
Hakeem Nicks came dressed for a homecoming. Sporting a Tar Heel light blue sport jacket in honor of his college team and playing in the city where he was a high school All-American, Nicks arrived hoping to play a key role in a win over the Carolina Panthers after an injury kept him out of the Giants’ big victory here last year. Instead, Nicks was a non-factor in a numbing 38-0 loss. (Newark Star-Ledger)
