New York Giants Wide Receiver Hakeem Nicks heads into his second year in the NFL as a favored contender to be the Giants top Wide Receiver.
With this honor, as well as being in the biggest market, it is somewhat surprising that he is not being touted by more of the major media outlets as a sleeper candidate.
