Giants star nearly quit football. His NFL journey started in NJ | Exclusive

Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor says his NFL path has been defined by nearly quitting, a mindset he credits for his turnaround. New York, first in the NFC East after its bye, is coming off a 27-21 overtime win over the Texans in Houston, where Eluemunor matched up against sack leader Will Anderson Jr. and helped erase him from the game. Speaking to NorthJersey.com and The Record, Eluemunor recalled setbacks across six teams in 10 years, including struggles in New England and being benched in Las Vegas—moments where he “wanted to quit.” The 6-foot-4, 338-pound lineman pairs with left tackle Andrew Thomas, who is grinding despite a groin issue.
