Imagine getting drafted to a big NFL team and finding out they don’t play where you thought they did.
That’s what happened with New York Giants first-round pick. Speaking during a press conference last week,
Neal said that he didn’t know Big Blue plays in New Jersey. He was under the impression that the Giants played in New York City or, at the very least, the state of New York.
“I didn’t even know the Giants were in Jersey. So that was news to me,” Neal said. Surprise, buddy!
