Shockey, Burress skip Giants' voluntary conditioning camp

Mar/20/07 08:23 AM Filed in: Jeremy Shockey
Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey and wide receiver Plaxico Burress did not show up at Giants Stadium as the team kicked off its voluntary offseason strength and conditioning program today.

That's nothing new. Shockey and Burress have opted to do their offseason work on their own in Miami the past couple of years, which has irked quarterback Eli Manning. Manning said as the Giants broke up last year that he would make it a point of getting in some quality throwing with his two main receiving options, whether that meant heading south or having the two come north for a while.

Defensive tackle William Joseph, another player who spent most of the offseason in Miami with Shockey and Burress, did show up for the program's opening.
