Hakeem Nicks making leap in his 2nd season

Posted Sep 17, 2010
New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks is looking more like a talent worthy of his first-round selection in the 2009 NFL draft. He started the season with a career game as he caught three TD passes Sunday. The guy throwing them, Eli Manning, traces the pass catcher's progression to off-season work. Just like with Manning's older brother, Peyton, down time is an opportunity to study. (Indianapolis Star)
