Giants get their new starting RB...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2793305

My take? The Giants got a real pro in Droughns. Despite what they say, Droughns is actually a very good man who'll be great for the team. He has a great work ethic and is very durable. Was great in his first year in CLE but then struggled when he was forced to split carries when CLE drafted Lee Suggs. Droughns let his unhappiness known to management and they called him a troublemaker. I mean, the guy ran for 1300 yards for a horrible team with no blocking and then complains when they draft an RB and force him to split carries? I'd say he had a legitimate gripe in CLE. Only thing I think that may linger in his mind is the same thing happening in NY with Jacobs...but I'm sure NY promised him they'd use him with Jacobs as they did with Tiki. Which I think will make the fans, and Droughns happy. He's a talented guy and will provide a steady bit of offense for the Giants. Congrats NY fans. I actually wanted us to get Droughns in DET to help in case Kevin Jones wasn't ready to play this year...but we ended up with Tatum Bell instead.
