Adrian Tracy’s college position coach was sorting through a mental highlight reel of his player’s school-record 47 career starts, and he couldn’t help but share possibly the quirkiest play of all. William & Mary was playing at Richmond in 2007, and Tracy was rushing the passer in the fourth quarter. Tracy made an impressive move to bat down the pass — but somehow it deflected back into the hands of the quarterback, who scampered for a first down. “That’s one that got away,” William & Mary defensive line coach Trevor Andrews recalled with a chuckle this week. “But I’d have to think what stands out the most, he had some very opportunistic sacks in key situations.” The Giants, who used five of their seven draft picks on defense this year, wouldn’t mind seeing some of those opportunistic plays from their sixth-round selection. But first, Tracy will have to settle in to a position he hasn’t played since his freshman year of high school. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2010/05/giants_rookie_adrian_tracy_tri.html
