Preseason spotlight has turned into toughest test yet for Giants rookie

The New York Giants are set to face their MetLife Stadium brethren, the New York Jets, in their preseason game on Saturday. This would be the second of three preseason games, and just one step closer to having official football that actually counts for something.

With one game and one win under their belt, there was one player who underperformed tremendously in last Saturday's 35-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills. This rookie was slow, seemingly in a fog amongst the chaos of the front line of the defense.

Drafted in the third round of the draft out of Toledo, Darius Alexander did not put on a great showing in his first game with the G-Men.
