Giants’ new, veteran running back understands why he’s here

Jonathan Stewart said he has been told he will be given the opportunity to compete for playing time at running back as, for the first time in his long NFL career, he transitions to a new team. The veteran also understands there is another reason the Giants signed him.

“I’m definitely excited to go in there and share my wisdom as being a professional in this business and also learn, too, from the younger guys as well,’’ Stewart said. “There is always room for growth and I’m excited to be a part of that running back group, and I’m sure we have a lot to look forward to at the end of the day.
