The Giants have invited Brandon Crawford to attend this weekend's mini-camp, where he'll be one of 23 brought in for a tryout. Crawford, 33, is hoping to become the oldest rookie in the NFL. "I look at it as a chance, an opportunity to prove people wrong," Crawford told The New York Post. "There's a lot of doubters out there, a lot of people say 'There's no way that can happen.' I guess in America you shouldn't dream, that's what you should tell kids. Don't be inspired, don't push for what you want to do. "Everybody's path is different. Everybody doesn't take the same road to get to where they want to go and to where they desire to go. If that was the case, I think life would be boring. My path is different, that's how I've always approached it and how I will continue to approach it." Crawford joined Ball State at age 29, after serving four years with the Marines.
