Real NYPD honors Giants’ ‘New York Pass Defense’

The actual NYPD showed up at the Giants’ facility on Friday to visit their namesakes, and they came bearing gifts.

Members of the New York Police Department football team brought by some boxes of ski hats and baseball caps with the words “NYPD Football” printed on them to hand out to members of the Giants secondary. The group, which has become a dominant unit this season, has adopted the nickname “NYPD” which stands for “New York Pass Defense.”

“They came in and I was in a meeting and our [public relations] person came and got me and said come talk to them,” safety Landon Collins said of meeting the officers and posing for some pictures in front of the team’s four Lombardi Trophies in the lobby.
