New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman has never traded back in the NFL draft, but he told reporters on Thursday that it's just a coincidence and any report that he refuses to do so is an "urban myth."
"I've tried in the past. Honest, I've tried to trade back," Gettleman said, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "But it's got to be value. I'm not getting fleeced. I refuse to do it. If someone wants to make a bad trade back, God bless them."
Gettleman has made 54 picks as a general manager between his time with the Giants and the Carolina Panthers, but he's never moved back in the draft order.
