Ramses Barden and New York Giants Look for 2012 to Be His Breakout Year

happy reading

Ramses Barden has every the tools to be a avid NFL receiver. The New royalty Giants would resolve for solid, sure and workman-like.

Barden, the Cal Poly standout whose college occupation haw be the exclusive conceive he ease has a blot on this roster, hasn't presented up on great.

In quaternary eld at Cal Poly, he locate up drawing as bounteous as his 6'6" frame: 206 receptions for 4,203, with 50 touchdowns. He also averaged 20.4 yards per catch. No, that's not a misprint. He averaged 20.4 yards per grownup over his career.

In fact, in his lowly assemblage he averaged 25.7 yards per catch.

But this is not the NCAA, and in the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately NFL, Barden has an humble 17 catches for 174 yards, at an 11.6 clip.

Barden has had awesome camps, and he's at it again this assemblage according to Giants brass. But, the grounds is in the NFL starts, and in points on the board—of which Barden has zero.

“I've ever experienced substantially at this instance of year,” Barden told CBSSports.com fresh after a Giants training at SUNY in Albany, New York. “That's not rattling what I'm afraid about."

“Obviously tent is extremely important, but it's not my mend focus. I'm preparing for the season. Preseason, season: those are my checkpoints," he added.

Last assemblage the speech was similar. An avid Barden hoping for his shot. An pollyannaish Giants work body inactivity for him to hit on the prospect of an unpaid college career.

But terminal year, because of his scraped ankle, Barden began the flavour on PUP.

This assemblage Barden has no much obstacle. And he faces less challenges from players who hit condemned NFL snaps.

When the Giants touched up in 2009 to select Barden in the ordinal ammo of the draft, they intellection they had a earpiece in the modeling of Keyshawn Johnson: a bounteous target, who was fleshly and mettlesome smart.

And, with decorous pace for a bounteous Negro and his avid peak advantage, digit would conceive the Giants would advise to wager whatever convey on their investment.

Giants receivers railcar Sean Ryan told the Star-Ledger that Barden's tent action "only scratches the opencast of what he’s confident of doing."

“He’s a sharp contestant and that gives you the knowledge to advise him around. He crapper endeavor every quaternary (receiver) spots. He’s finished a beatific employ of staying engrossed in meetings when he hasn’t played, so I wait him to mentally, soured the bat, be in a beatific place.”

Once again, Barden has impressed in camp, says Ryan, shipping in catches no digit added on the earth crapper contact and displaying his sandstone and enduringness on and soured the field.

Now, it's instance for Ramses to deliver, or he haw be the mismatched Negro discover in New York, with a 2012 receiving collection that includes LSU standout Rueben Randle and a flourishing Domenik Hixon backwards in the mix.

We'll undergo a aggregation more in the incoming 30 days.
