He works in the football office down there. We found out from the inside out – he talked about what a quality guy he was. He was probably the most respected guy on the offensive side of the ball. He talked about how he competed with Josh Allen on a day-to-day basis. He talked about his character, work ethic and his toughness. All of those things peaked interest,” Hunter said.“You watch him on tape and see that he has a lot of athleticism and power. He has a lot of toughness and plays in the best football conference in the country.”Hunter said Asafo-Adjei will line up as the team’s No. 2 right tackle behind Chad Wheeler for the time being. “We have some technical work to do. He is a rookie and you have to tell him to do something once and he goes on and does it right the next time. He picked up the offense much quicker than I thought he was going to,” Hunter said. “He has some developmental potential.”The right tackle spot is really the only one on the offensive line that isn’t settled White Odell Beckham Jerseys , and Hunter said “I don’t really know what’s going to transpire from here on out.”He did say, though, that “ the best players are going to play.”“Who are the best players? They are the players that play the best,” he added.“Right now, Chad (Wheeler) is starting off at right tackle and it is up to him to hold that position. It is up to everyone else to beat him out. I have told everyone, it is my job to make you the best player you can possibly be and then it is my job to get him to beat you out. If you coach the guys technically and schematically, the ultimate thing that you want them to do is for them to be able to go out there themselves and be able to determine who is going to play. We all sit there and watch the same tape. Whoever the best player is should play.” Giants add a pass rusher to their defense"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015 Odell Beckham Jerseys 2019 , Week 17New York Giants NewsGiants Free Agency 2019Giants’ 2019 NFL Draft: Edge rusher Oshane Ximines selected 95th overallNew,212commentsGiants add a pass rusher to their defenseEDTShareTweetShareShareGiants’ 2019 NFL Draft: Edge rusher Oshane Ximines selected 95th overallOshane XiminesThomas J.
