His roommate that season, linebacker and long snapper Zak DeOssie, was another first-year player trying to make the team.
“My head was spinning that summer trying to learn the defense,” said DeOssie, now in his ninth year with the Giants. “But Craig sat there studying and had every defensive call down perfectly. He never looked like a rookie on the field.”
