TE Mike Gesicki

(Are you looking forward to seeing your former college teammate, RB Saquon Barkley?) – “Yeah, absolutely. It will be cool. I’m sure we’ll catch up after the game. He’s had a ton of success there, and I’m happy for him. Ultimately we’re going up there to try to get a win and then we’ll catch up afterwards.”

(How much fun was playing in that offense when you were catching touchdown passes and RB Saquon Barkley was rushing for 100 yards a game?) – “Yeah. It was fun. We had a lot of success together as a team throughout those couple of years. We won some big games, did some fun stuff, but that’s all behind us now.”

(Do you keep tabs on what RB Saquon Barkley does?) – “Yeah. It’s hard not to. Every time you turn on a TV, you see him on commercials and all of that stuff. I know he’s doing well. I’m happy for him.”

(This is your first time playing against the Giants right?) – “Yeah.”

(Do you remember watching Eli Manning in the Super Bowl, and watching the football stuck to the head?) – ‘Yeah (that was) 2007. I was a big Giants fan growing up. That was my team. I remember that one, and then I remember the one a couple of years after that. It will be cool to go up and play against them, kind of relive some of those memories. Yeah, I’m excited about it. It will be cool.”

(You said you grew up a Giants fan. Is it special to go up and play there against the Giants this weekend?) – “Yeah, absolutely. It will be a cool experience. I grew up a big Giants fan. I watched every single game. Me and my dad on Sundays, we’d sit there on the couch and watch all of the games. It was cool. It was fun, and now to kind of have that opportunity to go against them, it will be fun.”

(When the Jets played at Giants stadium it was kind of lame because it was called Giants Stadium. I don’t know if you noticed but all of the lights that were green last week will be changed to blue.) – “Yeah, they will change it up. It will be cool. It will be fun.”

(Is it sort of cool too that – it hasn’t been announced if QB Eli Manning is going to be the starter or not but you grew up watching him, and here you are on the other side of the field. Just to watch him.) – “Yeah. He obviously has a ton of respect around the league for all of the accomplishments that he’s had throughout his career. Like I said, I grew up watching him. It will be cool to kind of be on the other side and to watch it first-hand. But ultimately like I said earlier, we have one goal: it’s to go up there and get a win.”
