Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw declared himself healthy and ready for whatever the team asks him to do next season.
With the recent release of Brandon Jacobs, the Giants may need to depend on Bradshaw to produce like he did in 2010, when he had a career-high 276 carries and 1,235 yards. Bradshaw was limited to 171 carries and 659 yards in 12 games this season due to a stress fracture in his right foot.
“I picture my role to be just like [it was in 2010],” Bradshaw said. “I got the stem cell injection on my right foot that I re-fractured and it feels great. I feel like I can come out this next season and be ready for whatever they give me.”
Bradshaw, who has spent the majority of his Giants’ career splitting carries with Jacobs, said he knew there was a chance his running mate might leave. He said he will miss him.
“I wouldn’t want him to leave for nothing,” he said.
Bradshaw admitted Jacobs’ fate is out of his control and wished him well.
“Whatever he does, whatever decisions are made, it’s all business and I can’t do anything about it,” Bradshaw said. “If he does leave, I just hope he has a successful rest of his career.”
