Ryan Nassib

Giants TE Adrien Robinson said, “I’ve been waiting for a chance to make plays like that.’’ The Giants have been waiting for it, too. Saturday night, the third-year tight end finally showed some of the potential general manager Jerry Reese was talking about two years ago when he called Robinson “the JPP of tight ends.’’

The Giants staged an improbable comeback, turning a 26-0 fourth-quarter deficit into a 27-26 preseason victory over the Colts and Robinson played a huge role in the game-winning drive.

With the Giants facing a fourth-and-16 situation, Robinson broke open down the middle of the field — he said it was “like the Red Sea’’ — and hauled in Ryan Nassib’s pass for a 26-yard gain. On the next play, Nassib again found Robinson, this time for 33 yards. They were the two most significant plays Robinson has made in a Giants uniform.

Granted this was late in the game against backups, but the Giants need someone to step up at the position and this could at least give Robinson a shot to compete with the first team. So far this preseason, the Giants offense has been non-existent and could possibly use a spark by Robinson.
