By now, everyone has seen the David Wilson backflip, the ultra-athletic gymnast move he unveiled to punctuate every one of his three touchdowns in last week’s 52-27 victory over the Saints. The Giants have been waiting for this scoring outburst from their first-round pick but there’s more than a little concern about his celebration modus operandi.
“Nobody asked me to stop,’’ Wilson said on Wednesday, before revealing that general manager Jerry Reese “told me if I get hurt then he’ll be in my grill.’’
Tom Coughlin, asked if he had a problem with the backflips, said “Next question.’’ Informed that Reese might have told Wilson to stop doing the back-flips, Coughlin added “You’re not going to get me on that one.’’

David WIlson celebrates a touchdown in Giants' win over Saints.
Teammates, most vocally Justin Tuck, want Wilson do ditch the backflip for something safer, such as a bow. But at least one prominent Giants player wants to see as many back-flips as possible on Sunday when the Giants face the Falcons in Atlanta.
