Giants

Giants WR Sterling Shepard said heโ€™s feeling good coming off the torn Achilles that ended his 2021 season and is eager to get back in the teamโ€™s lineup.

โ€œIโ€™m feeling great,โ€ Shepard said via the teamโ€™s official website. โ€œIโ€™ve been working my tail off with the training staff, doing everything that they ask of me and doing a little extra on my own as well. It gets overwhelming at times. Youโ€™re doing the same thing over and over again. You can get lost in it or you could just fall in love with the process, and thatโ€™s just what Iโ€™ve been trying to do. Just fall in love with it and get that strength back.โ€

Shepard reached out to Nets star Kevin Durant to get advice on returning from a torn Achilles and also utilized other athleteโ€™s recoveries as inspiration and reassurance that he can return to 100%

โ€œI also talked to Kevin Durant right when I did it on surgeons and which way to go with that,โ€ Shepard said. โ€œIโ€™ve just been watching a lot of videos of guys that came back from it, and it seems like everybody has made a 100 percent recovery, so thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m hoping for.โ€
