NEWTOWN, Pa. -- Offensive linemen aren't usually big on making fashion statements.

Adam Bisnowaty's facemask is an exception.

A few things stand out when observing the Giants' rookie right tackle. Among them: His size (6-foot-6, 307 pounds), his long hair cinched up in the back, and, as mentioned, the fact he is rocking a facemask out of an NFL Films marathon.

Simple and gray, three bars across the face and one down the middle.

But why that facemask?

"I wanted to represent the old legends," Bisnowaty told NJ Advance Media while working teammate and left guard Justin Pugh's Pugh Crew Summer Kickoff camp.
