Barring injury, the New York Giants will not have to worry about their fullback position for the next four and a half years.In a somewhat unexpected move, the team extended the contract of Madison Hedgecock; a fullback that was picked up off of waiver from the St. Louis Rams in early September.
The extension will go through 2012, and all but ends the Giants career of Jim Finn, who is currently on injured reserve with a bad back.
One of the huge concerns early in the offseason was the lack of a quality fullback; a concern that only got worse when Robert Douglas was lost for the season with a knee injury. But to date, Hedgecock has been a godsend. Thanks in large part to his superb blocking ability, the Giants have been averaging 137.8 yards rushing per game and have many people asking "Tiki who?"

Madison Hedgecock has filled the shoes of former New York Giant Tiki Barber and Giants fans are happy that the Giants do not have locker room cancers.
