Will Tye: First player from Stony Brook Univ. to appear in NFL game

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Will Tye stood in the Giants' locker room after Sunday's win over the Bills, looked around, and when he was asked what he was doing there he grinned and said: "I must be lost."

The tight end from Stony Brook University likely felt that way because he was the first player from the Long Island school to appear in an NFL game.

Tye said he heard from "just about everybody" at Stony Brook. "All my coaches hit me up, all the administration," he said. "They said good luck, we'll be watching. It definitely felt good.
