When New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen name-dropped undrafted free agent wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton as a potential special teams punt gunner during Friday’s Giants-Carolina Panthers television broadcast, that got the attention of everyone trying to figure out the Giants’ initial 53-man roster.
Ford-Wheaton found out about Schoen’s remarks from media members after the game. His reaction? Cool, but now it’s time to get back to work.
“It was good to hear somebody like that speak well on me, but still just got to keep coming to work every day and putting my best foot forward,” Ford-Wheaton said on Tuesday.
