The 30-year-old Jonathan Stewart may be carrying the weight of a 10-year NFL career on his shoulders, but don’t for a single second tell him he’s got nothing left in the tank.

One day after signing a two-year, $6.9 million deal with the New York Giants, Stewart vowed that he’s still “got a lot left” and plans reward Big Blue for their faith in him.

“I’ve got a lot left. The only reason why I would be playing is if I knew I could play and I know I can play, Dave knows I can play — there is a lot that I feel I want to prove and writing my own story as far as how things shape up moving forward for me,” Stewart told reporters. “I’m excited about the opportunity at hand and I’m grateful for the owners taking a chance on me and trusting in the GM and the coaching staff to trust me.”

Stewart, who has spent much of his career in a running back-by-committee situation, anticipates more of the same in New York and is ready to compete.

“I’m going into my 11th year as a running back and it’s my first with a new team. I’m definitely excited to go in there and share my wisdom as being a professional in this business and also learn, too, from the younger guys,” Stewart said. “There is always room for growth and I’m excited to be apart of that running back group and I’m sure we have a lot to look forward to at the end of the day. The sky is the limit and I’m excited to meet those guys and be a part of the team.

“I expect to compete at the end of the day. That’s what we do. If you’re not competing, if you’re not expected to have competition amongst the group, then you shouldn’t be in this business. It doesn’t make you better if you’re not willing to compete and get better and I see this as an opportunity for that for everyone.”

Stewart is expected to compete with Wayne Gallman, Paul Perkins and, potentially, either Orleans Darkwa if he re-signs or Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, who is likely in play for the Giants at No. 2 in the NFL Draft.
