NY Giants Rumors: Shane Vereen Says Joining Giants Is "A Step Up" From Patriots

The New York Giants signed running back Shane Vereen away from the incumbent Patriots at the start of free agency, and Vereen says he's excited about joining the Giants.

“It’s just a decision for my family,” Vereen told Giants.com, via NESN. “At the end of the day, I wanted to make a decision that was right for us, right for them. This is a great organization. I was fortunate enough to play in New England with another great organization, and this is no slouch. This is not a step down. If anything, it’s a step up. I’m looking forward to the opportunity, and I’m enjoying being in New York.”

Vereen's elite ability to be a receiver out of the backfield was key for the Patriots during their Super Bowl run. He signed a three-year, $12.35 million deal with the Giants on Tuesday.
