DT Johnathan Hankins OK with being anonymous star on defense

It's hard to go unnoticed when you are 6-2 and 320 pounds, but Johnathan Hankins does a pretty good job of it. He may be the most important piece of the Giants' defense this season, a player they will rely on to improve their sorry run defense and bolster their pass rushing. Yet he can pretty much walk around in anonymity, even as he saunters off the practice fields of training camp past droves of fans screaming for autographs.

They want Eli. They want Cruz. They sure as heck want Beckham. Yet Hankins slips past with a smile and a wave.
