Wilkins immediately knew it was Leo, the “COVID kitten” they rescued in 2020. She rushed to meet Mead.“I just started walking down the street calling for him, and he just ran out and was like, ‘Oh hey, here I am, you know, like, w...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Of all the players the New York Giants added in the offseason, no one has created as much excitement and expectation as tight end Darren Waller.The soon-to-be 31-year-old Waller has opened eyes since being acquired from Las Vegas in March for a third-round draft pick.
