You may have some familiarity with David Sills’ name from headlines he made earlier this preseason. He was the first Giants player to test positive for COVID-19 when the team began reporting to training camp in late July. While he was asymptomatic, he had to be quarantined for 10 days before returning to the field.
You also may be vaguely aware of David Sills’ background, if not his name. A decade ago he created a stir in the sports world when, as a seventh-grade quarterback in Delaware, he verbally committed to a scholarship offer from USC.
