Giants’ Wayne Gallman fought back tears before breakout performance
Wayne Gallman was close to tears.
And this was before he produced 118 yards of offense and scored two touchdowns — one rushing and one receiving — in the Giants’ 24-3 win over the Redskins on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Before the game, Gallman, the Giants’ third-year running back who lives in the shadows of Saquon Barkley, could hardly contain his emotions. He was starting in place of the injured Barkley, who’s out for at least a month with a high ankle sprain, and he wanted to make it count.
This was Gallman’s moment. He wanted to embrace it. But he, too, wanted to put his stamp on it, validate his existence and all the hard work he’s put in since the Giants brought him here in 2017.
