It isn’t often a draft pick lives up to a general manager’s expectations in every way possible, but in that regard Ryan Nassib may be the best selection ever made by Jerry Reese.
The Giants traded up to take Nassib in the fourth round of the 2013 draft, after which Reese offered the following assessment: “If he doesn’t ever play, that would be great. That’s a good problem to have.”
Mission accomplished!
Nassib, who was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday with a sore throwing elbow, has likely played his last game for the Giants. Or, more accurately, watched his last game as a Giant.
