The Giants and Jets will meet in their annual preseason matchup on Friday, but Giants rookie running back Andre Williams issued some bulletin board material that could make it a regular season environment.
“I think the Giants are the real New York team,” Williams said, per the New York Post.
Williams, the bruising running back out of Boston College, admitted that he has little knowledge of the New York rivalry.
“This is my first year and I’m not too sure about what’s going on with the rivalry thing,” Williams said. “But there’s definitely a different feeling this week than last week. I’m just trying to buy into it.”
When alerted of Williams’ comments, Jets head coach Rex Ryan did what he does best, and took a jab at the former collegiate All American.
“Yeah, last time I saw him he was getting smoked by Clemson,” Ryan said, via the Associated Press.
