New York Giants rookie tackle Justin Pugh has insisted that he is not feeling any pressure ahead of his first start for the club.
Pugh, who has been out for a couple of weeks with a concussion, was the club's first-round draft pick but has said that does not mean he has to impress immediately.
"No pressure at all," Pugh told the New York Post. "I think when you step out there, it doesn't matter what round you're drafted in.
"You're in the lineup against a guy and that's the battle, regardless of a first-round pick and wherever they're from. So just go out there and play every play. Do what I have to do and do my job."
Pugh was the 19th pick overall in the 2013 draft.
