TEAMS: New York Giants
While the Giants were hoping to have David Douglas take over for Ramses Barden as the underdog story earlier this preseason, it didn’t happen. Douglas was patiently waiting for his turn and although it took long, his turn arose.
The 23-year-old’s camp performance prompted coach Tom Coughlin to declare last week Douglas “has had a heck of a preseason.” He was at it again in practice yesterday.
First, the 6-foot-1 205-pound Douglas made a terrific jumping catch over the middle, beating cornerback Brandon Bing. Later he jumped over safety Janzen Jackson to haul in a touchdown.
Today the Bucaneers signed Douglas hoping to boost their wide receiver morale.
