Will Hernandez never got the chance to exhale last year. A whirlwind of events began after the final game of his senior season at Texas-El Paso in 2017 and didn’t end until the end of his rookie year with the Giants in 2018.
Preparing for the NFL draft, getting drafted, moving to a new city, learning a new climate, a new offense, new coaches and new teammates and then playing in game after game after game made life a constant roller coaster.
It wasn’t until the offseason that Hernandez had a chance to relax and reflect on his journey from living in a shed and contemplating quitting football to starting all 16 games at left guard.
