EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Mario Manningham put on his sweat pants after practice and quickly pawed through the clothes on the floor in front of his locker looking for a T-shirt.
The longer it took the New York Giants’ receiver to find the shirt – and it was only seconds – the more concerned he got.
Eli Manning was waiting and Manningham wasn’t about to make the Giants quarterback wait long. It’s all part of his new role, being the No. 1 receiver in the wake of injuries to Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks.
He needs Manning. Manning needs him.
