Giants Rookie LB Clint Sintim To Get More Playing Time
The envelope landed in Clint Sintim’s locker last Wednesday, three days after he had taken his first 11 NFL snaps on defense. The return address was 280 Park Ave. — the league headquarters.
“Congratulations on your first game on first and second downs,” the Giants’ linebacker jokingly said he was expecting to read. “But all the veterans were like, ‘What happened? What happened?’ I’m like, ‘Hell if I know.’”
Sintim soon found out when he opened the envelope and saw a letter informing him his paycheck had been docked $5,000 for a late hit on Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.
“Five thousand dollars lighter!” Sintim exclaimed. “They just took it!”
Welcome to the NFL, rookie.
Nine games into his first season, after being limited by a groin injury in September, Sintim is finally getting the full experience. Against San Diego last week, the second-round pick split time in the base defense and had a productive game. Sintim recorded three tackles in limited action while starting strongside linebacker Danny Clark drew the ire of middle linebacker Antonio Pierce for apparently missing an assignment on a 2-yard touchdown catch by Chargers tight end Kris Wilson.
