Giants rookie cornerback Cor’Dale Flott once was tackled off of a dirty pebble-lined field into the bushes by a much older kid nicknamed “BamBam.”
That’s the kind of toughness Bears rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. came to expect from his younger second cousin, who was supposed to be on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
“He was the little one trailing behind us, looking up to us,” Jones told The Post by phone this week, referencing a group that included Cor’Dale’s older brother WyDale, a former college football player at Southern Mississippi. “When the bigger kids played football, he was right there in the mix tackling kids 4, 5, 6 years older than him. He was never afraid of anything.” Noah K. Murray-NY Post
The celebration at Jones’ party still was ongoing when a guest shouted out, “Look, Cor’Dale just got drafted!”
