The former New York Giants‘ receiver, Sterling Shepard, is excited to take on his old team as he looks for revenge when they welcome the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the MetLife Stadium on Sunday, November 24.

Shepard played for the East Rutherford-based side between 2019 and 2023 but was let go when his contract expired, eventually heading to the NFC South where he linked up with the Buccaneers in June 2024.

The 31-year-old had made 4095 receiving yards for 23 touchdowns in 74 starts with the team and has continued his career in Florida with 166 yards from 16 receptions for one touchdown, proving he still has something to offer.

And in the mix for the offense against the Giants, the overall 40th pick of the 2016 NFL Draft is excited to show what he has to offer when he goes up against a Daniel Jones-less Giants on Sunday.

“I mean, obviously you got a little bit more juice,” Shepard told The New York Post of the clash with the Giants. “I’ve got some familiar faces over there, people I’ve built a relationship with.

“But when you step in between them white lines, it’s business, and that’s the way you have to approach it. Yeah, I’m looking forward to going back man, it’s going to be fun.”

Giants game huge for Shepard and also the Bucs

The game will take place on November 24 at the MetLife Stadium, with kick-off expected from 13:00 ET/10:00 PT. The match will be broadcast live on CBS Sports with Andrew Catalon delivering the play-by-play.

After losing Chris Godwin to a season-ending injury, the contest against the 3-8 Giants will be key for Baker Mayfield and Shepard to get their seasons back on track with the chance to claim their fifth win of the campaign.

If they prevail and the Atlanta Falcons lose, they will move to second in the NFC South whilst they could also move up as high as eighth in the NFC Conference.
