New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw ready to go – NFL News
New York Giants offensive line received a hit when veteran Brandon Jacobs left the team this offseason to join the San Francisco 49ers, but it looks like Ahmad Bradshaw is ready to fill in his shoes.
Bradshaw, now the most experienced running back in the line-up, has played the last couple of seasons through different injuries.
He also underwent a medical procedure in March to treat his foot injury that required him to take a rest of around three months.
As the Giants prepare for their training camp, Bradshaw is hopeful of giving his best shot and lead the team at the running back position.
Giants have a few young players for the position and Bradshaw is expecting them to fill in the void created by Jacobs’ departure.
According to the details present on the team’s official website, Bradshaw said of Jacobs’ departure and the young players:
“We’ve filled a lot of good spots without my big brother B-Jac. We got the first round draft pick (David Wilson), we got Danny (Ware), Andre (Brown), and Da’Rel (Scott). We’re all going to be a big part of this backfield.”
He added:
“I think we all can help and contribute to our offensive game and our rushing attack. I don’t know who all is going to be here by the time the season starts, but I think we’ve got a lot of talent in the room.”
Bradshaw has been playing with the Giants since starting his professional National Football League (NFL) career in 2007.
In his first three seasons with the team, he did not get enough playing time but he began getting starting roles more often since the last two seasons.
In 2010, he started 11 games while playing 16 and rushed for 1,235 yards on 276 attempts. In the last regular season, he played 12 games while starting nine of them.
With Jacobs gone now, it is expected that the Giants would give Bradshaw more playing time in the upcoming season. However, Bradshaw also has to maintain his fitness and be able to spend the whole season without facing any problem with regard to his previous
injuries.
