Giants’ Richie James has recovered from lost fumbles during his comeback season

Richie James made a comeback this season with the Giants. He was forced to sit out the entire 2021 season at the San Francisco 49ers. The first chapter of James’ comeback story was written in March when he had two teams – the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles – interested in signing him.

Richie James chose the Giants over the Eagles because he didn't want to be in Philadelphia.

James fumbled twice in the season and was benched, but he's playing better this year. He's been playing more this season because of injuries. James has 22 catches for 212 yards and three touchdowns in last five games. His time off last year helped him improve mentally. He made some key plays in Sunday's win over Washington. The quarterback, Eli Manning, gives him credit for that. It's the best season of his career. For him, it's a good thing he had time to fall in love with football again. When he was playing before, he wasn't really there mentally and he let his purpose get in way. Now he feels better.
