Hakeem Nicks gets (final?) chance with N.Y. Giants

Posted Dec 17, 2015
Former Independence and North Carolina standout receiver Hakeem Nicks is back with his old NFL team – and perhaps on his last stop in the league. Nicks signed with the New York Giants last month after being out of the league since the start of the regular season. In 2011 he had his second consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season. By 2015, few would touch him. (Charlotte Observer)
