James Bradberry reveals what Dave Gettleman is like
New York cornerback James Bradberry has long been tied to Giants GM Dave Gettleman. The embattled shot-caller gave Bradberry his opportunity in the league, drafting the Samford product in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Bradberry’s shock move to East Rutherford in 2020 was in part thanks to his relationship with Gettleman. Giants fans certainly don’t have the same affinity for the 70-year-old, perhaps that’s because they don’t know Gettleman like Bradberry does.
The 28-year-old shared what Gettleman is like away from the podium and the baying New York media.

Michael Dickson shares his unusual morning routine
Seattle stud specialist Michael Dickson has had his share of life experience. After pursuing a career in Australian rules in his homeland, Dickson turned his attention to America’s game. With the help of punting factory Prokick Australia, the lovable Aussie found a home in Texas, excelling there before Seattle drafted Dickson in the 5th round in the 2018 Draft.
During his professional and personal life, Dickson has experienced ups and downs like any other human, though these two profound pieces of advice have held him in good stead.
“I don’t know who I got it from but it’s just something that’s always stuck with me,” Dickson said. “I forget the exact quote but the message was just like, ‘Aim way higher than what you think is achievable — just aim really high for your goals’ because if you fall short of them you’re still going to do really well. Don’t really limit yourself. That’s the thing that’s probably stuck with me the most.
”Something I always try and go back to is ‘Amor Fati’, which means to love your fate. It’s kind of like a stoic saying but [it means] love everything, even the bad things. Just embrace everything because that’s kind of just life. So enjoy the bad things because it’s all part of it. Just love your fate.”

Two-time Super Bowl champion Jason Pierre-Paul has been through his fair share of battles. The former New York Giant'‘s most infamous moment came while on the roster in East Rutherford. On July 4th 2015, Pierre-Paul suffered a significant hand injury after a firework detonated in his hand, causing him to lose most of his right index finger.
JPP also spent two years in junior college before dominating at USF before being drafted with the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Haitian Sensation played eight years in New York before arriving in Tampa.
