EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Playing on the New York Giants’ star-studded defensive line, Barry Cofield could easily get lost in the crowd.
Every game, it seems either Justin Tuck or Osi Umenyiora sweeps around the end for a sack or forced fumble or that big Chris Canty puts his hand up to knock down a pass to get the crowd roaring.
While Cofield has made his share of plays in helping the Giants take over the NFL’s No. 1 ranking on defense, he is also the guy in the middle of the line who allows the other guys to excel.
Not bad for a guy who the Giants seriously considered trading to the Super Bowl-champion New Orleans Saints on draft day in April.
