Jason Pierre-Paul could go on the offensive for Giants

The Giants may actually have the "JPP of tight ends," and no, not Adrien Robinson.

Jason Pierre-Paul, undoubtedly one of the most athletic players on the Giants' roster, is an enticing option for the Giants to use in some offensive sets. Facing the Texans this week and seeing how they have used J.J. Watt in that role -- he caught a touchdown pass last week against the Raiders -- has sparked a line of questioning about the possibility, if not actual consideration from the coaching staff.

"I've done it in my past, on the goal line," offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo said of his time with the Packers. "We've done some things with B.J. Raji and Mike Daniels in Green Bay. You're always tempted. Look at those guys. Of course you want to use them."

Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said he would be "all for" having one of his players switch sides for a specific package and in fact has been subtly suggesting it for several years.

"I say this to our coaching staff all the time that JPP would be a great tight end," Fewell said. "You ought to see the guy run and catch the ball around here. He would be a great tight end."

McAdoo thinks so, too.

"JPP, you could probably throw it five yards over the goal post and he has a chance to go up and get it," McAdoo said. "There are some talented guys you'd like to use. But they have a full plate too."
