It wasn't all doom and gloom for the New York Giants after their Week 13 loss to the New York Jets. Return man and wide reciever Dwayne Harris racked up another return touchdown -- this time an 80-yard punt return. In the process, he became the first Giants player ever with a punt return, kick return and receiving touchdown in one season.

Although many questioned the decision to sign Harris to a five-year, $17.5 million contract this past offseason, he has easily outplayed his annual salary in his first season with the team. After serving mostly as a return man with the Dallas Cowboys, Harris has proven to be more than that since signing with the Giants. In the early season, he took over the slot receiver role for an injured Victor Cruz after the Giants released Preston Parker, and he has already racked up four receiving touchdowns.

Harris is a building block for the Giants as they move forward into an offseason that is sure to bring major roster turnover.
