Giants' McAdoo gets help from fashion masters after wearing awkwardly oversized suit

Published Mar. 23, 2016 1:43 p.m. ET

When the New York Giants introduced its former offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo in mid-January as the new head coach of the New York Giants, the 38-year-old was wearing a suit designed for a much larger man: himself, before losing 60 pounds or "about a third grader" as he put it.

McAdoo took the reigns for one of the league's most valuable and respected franchises, but he looked like a kid playing dress up. His sense of fashion probably has nothing to do with his coaching ability, but he recognizes that he could use a suit that actually fits him. So he's taking help from a couple guys who have a clue: Hall of Fame former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan and wide receiver Victor Cruz.

"Victor is a guy who definitely wants to help me out in that regard," McAdoo said at the NFL owners meetings in Boca Raton, Fla. on Wednesday. "You have to know your strengths and weaknesses and my wardrobe, well, I'm a work in progress."

Meanwhile Strahan plans to send McAdoo some suits from his line at J.C. Penney, per the New York Daily News.
