The Facts:
Though Plaxico Burress was absent from OTAs again, Shockey was on the field today. He returned to the area this week to get a few workouts before the start of mandatory mini-camp next Wednesday. He participated in yesterday's session -- his first work with quarterback Eli Manning since a week or so of passing drills last month.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Shockey has been criticized over the last three off-seasons for working in Florida instead of up here with his young quarterback. "I think leaders are made in the season, not in the offseason. That's just how I feel," he said. Still, HC Tom Coughlin believes it does benefit both Shockey and the team for the TE to be here. "That's what this is all about -- being able to work yourself through some of the individual stuff and some of the just knowing each other stuff," Coughlin said. Manning agreed. "It's good to have someone who knows what's going on," the QB said, demontrating his superior grasp of the obvious.
