A name that has caused some provocation amongst New York Giants’ fans is Leonard Williams, a former sixth overall pick by the crosstown New York Jets. The rousing nature that surrounds the player’s name isn’t unwarranted, but it’s not necessarily due to the merit of gameplay that Williams exudes on Sundays.
In a dismal 2-6 season, the Giants traded two draft assets, one being a third-round selection, to the Jets for Williams, who was an impending free agent. The transaction was particularly peculiar because of Williams’ contractual status and the Giants’ current roster.
