Shane Vereen obviously has pretty high standards.
The new Giants running back said he was excited about moving south, after leaving a Patriots organization which has done pretty well for itself.
“It’s just a decision for my family,” Vereen told Giants.com, via NESN. “At the end of the day, I wanted to make a decision that was right for us, right for them. This is a great organization. I was fortunate enough to play in New England with another great organization, and this is no slouch.
“This is not a step down. If anything, it’s a step up. I’m looking forward to the opportunity, and I’m enjoying being in New York.”
Of course, Vereen’s also cashing New York checks now, signing a three-year, $12.35 million deal with the Giants.
His ability as a receiver out of the backfield was a key for the Patriots winning the Super Bowl, and the Giants are looking for more of that from him, as he joins another multi-pronged backfield.
