Giants turn to Antonio Pierce to help mentor young LB B.J. Goodson

Welcome to the Giants edition of “The Voice.”

You know that reality show where established singers help mentor young, aspiring stars? Well, that is what’s been happening on the field and off at the Giants’ OTAs this week, only instead of carrying a tune, the goal is to call a play. To communicate. To become, for a defense that already has plenty of talented play-makers, the Voice.

It’s an important role, and one that has been left to second-year linebacker B.J. Goodson. With Kelvin Sheppard not re-signed by the team, Goodson has stepped in as the starting middle linebacker.
