Ted Ginn's lessons power Arvell Reese's strong New York Giants start
Giants LB Arvel Reese credits high school mentor Ted Ginn for his seamless start, zero missed assignments, and humble “seen, not heard” approach in camp.
New York Giants rookie linebacker Arvel Reese arrived at his first NFL minicamp already prepared for the moment, thanks in large part to the guidance of high school coach Ted Ginn Sr. “Before I came to camp right after the draft, Coach Ginn was actually with me when they flew me out the next day,” Reese said. “Coach Ginn, he already prepared me for moments like this, I’m going to be honest.
Since high school, he’s seen me in this position since high school. He told me this is how it was going to be. Everything he said to me since high school pretty much prepared me for this moment in a way.
” Reese described Ginn’s support as life-changing. “It means everything," he said. "He came to me at a time at the lowest point in my life, and he poured into me.
He saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself at the time. Every time he’s talking, I’m all ears. I know he’s not going to tell me nothing wrong.
