The Facts:
When Bradshaw arrived in 2007 as a rookie running back with the Giants, Brandon Jacobs welcomed him and took him under his wing. Now it's Bradshaw's turn to do the same for David Wilson, the Virginia Tech running back
the Giants took in the first round of the NFL draft. "I plan on using him as my project," Bradshaw said on Monday. "He's a very talented running back and he's from Virginia. Two Virginia guys in this running back corps is going to be dangerous. I expect to use him as my project to get him better, to get him smarter and just to mature him a little bit, just to help him understand the NFL."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Daily News staffer Ralph Vacchiano, Bradshaw, who lives about three hours away from Wilson during the offseason, is already handing out advice to the rookie. He said the first thing Wilson needs to do is learn how to block because "If you can't protect that quarterback, you can't get out there. That's how we look at it now." That's just one of the many things Wilson will have to learn, and Bradshaw knows the experience can be overwhelming. The Giants' offensive playbook is thick and the plays, signals and assignments are complicated. For a running back - especially one who figures to get a lot of work in the Giants' two-back rotation - learning it all will be a lot of work. Especially if Wilson hopes to
live up to his own hype this season.
