Giants rookie Darius Muasau is a different man on the football field: ‘Don’t know how to explain it’
NY Post
Darius Muasau doesn’t have a cool superhero nickname like his new Giants teammate Brian Burns, but he does have two different identities.
“Off the field does not translate to on the field,” Muasau said after completing rookie minicamp. “Off the field, I would consider myself more of an introvert. Once I get onto the field, it’s crazy. I don’t know how to explain it.
“It’s somebody else on this field. All of a sudden pre-game speeches become my thing. I am very vocal, talking to everyone and making sure we’re all on the same page. That’s just, I would say, my alter ego on the field.”
Burns, who arrived in March via trade and signed a five-year, $141 million contract, is known as “Spider-Man.”
Muasau, a sixth-round draft pick, is just known as a sure tackler after four straight college seasons with a team-leading total.
He finished his career at Hawaii and UCLA with 436 tackles, including 40 for loss, in 61 games.
