Report: Martinek Says Giants a 'Blessing'

NJ.com reports the New York Giants' Joe Martinek said while learning to play a trio of positions has been difficult, the rigmarole will be worth it by the end of training camp.

According to the report, when asked if learning to play fullback, running back and special teams has been complicated, Martinek said, "Right now probably a little bit because I got to know two positions right now so that aspect is hard just to remember because on one play I can have two different assignments, but playing the fullback helps me play running back and then running back helps me know what the fullback's supposed to do. so it's harder right now, but at the end it helps each other."

Martinek also said he didn't grow up a Giants fan, according to the report.

"I didn't grow up a Giants fan, but all my friends are Giants fans and they're all excited about the Giants signing me. It's a blessing," he told NJ.com.
