New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck will be wearing a new foul-proof facemask when the season starts. It’s designed to send a message to opponents: “Go ahead, just try to stick your fingers inside. I’ll take them with me.” The new design has five horizontal bars and 12 diagonal bars. He wore it during practice. Tuck introduced an upgraded facemask last October when he suspected opponents tried to aggravate his neck injury by sticking their fingers in his old facemask and pulling. It looked like a grill.

New York Giants' Eli Manning Wants to Focus on Reducing Turnovers, Creating Consistency

Via 60 Max Power O  |  June 12, 2012
In 2010, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw a career high 25 interceptions to go along with two lost fumbles.
