David Diehl: Position Makes 'No Difference'

Stay connected for news and updates

Say what you want about New York Giants offensive lineman David Diehl. And I know many of you will say he's terrible, the Giants should have cut him along with Kareem McKenzie, etc., etc. One thing you cannot say is that Diehl is selfish.

Diehl has started at every spot on the offensive line except center during his nine seasons with the Giants, and he might be in for another move in 2012.

He began the 2011 season at left guard, making way for Will Beatty at left tackle. Then, of course, moved back to tackle when Beatty went on Injured Reserve.

Odds are, Diehl opens 2012 at right tackle in place of McKenzie. In typical Diehl fashion, he really doesn't care.

"Whether it's at left tackle or right tackle, it's no difference to me," Diehl said this week.

It is that kind of attitude that has helped keep Diehl in the Giants' lineup this long. And it takes players with attitudes like that to win Super Bowls.
