Giants: Hakeem Returns

Because the Giants didn't realize they wouldn't have Victor Cruz back at all till yesterday, which was after the trade deadline, they had to hit the NFL scrap heap, where they signed former Giant great Hakeem Nicks.  I'm not kidding when I say he was great.  He was, especially in 2010 and 2011, when he was dominant down the stretch and helped lead the Giants to their last SB victory.  Then he hurt his knee and his thousand yard seasons were over.  He left as a UFA after the `13 season, and that was  big reason why the Giants chose Odell Beckham Jr. in round one of the `14 draft.   It's a shame that Hakeem's prime was so brief, and that's he was still available in week 11, but, for awhile there, he was great.
