It has little to do with the fact that Michael Strahan retired, but Giants officials believe DE Justin Tuck is ready to become a full-fledged star. In fact there were some who believed strongly that Tuck would have beaten out Strahan for a starting gig had he returned. Tuck reportedly is in excellent condition, hoping to build up his stamina with the idea that he’ll be counted on even more this season.
