Moss feels no sibling rivalry

The comparisons always are going to be there. And if Sinorice Moss thinks otherwise, all he need do is check with his quarterback, Eli Manning.
"There are going to be comparisons, no matter what," said the Giants' newest wide receiver, who happens to play the same position and attended the same school (Miami) as big brother Santana. "Just like other guys in the league who have brothers in the league, they are going to be compared to their brothers if they play the same position."
Santana Moss was the Jets' first-round draft pick in 2001, and last year caught 84 passes and scored nine touchdowns for the Washington Redskins.
"But it doesn't matter to me," the younger Moss said of the comparisons. "Santana is Santana, and I'm Sinorice. All I have to do is go out there and play the best football I can. If they are going to compare me, then that's what they are going to do. But they can't stop me from playing football."
The Giants traded up in the second round to secure the 5-foot-8, 185-pound Moss, who coach Tom Coughlin thinks will give his offense a "nice little jolt." Moss, whose first name is pronounced "SIN-or-riss," is different than most of Manning's other targets. He's smaller and quicker.
"I feel I can fit in right now as the No. 3 receiver,'' said Moss of his immediate role with the Giants. "I can stretch the field for those guys, and help Plaxico [Burress] and Amani Toomer. It's going to be awesome.''
Moss has been battling the size issue his entire career, dating to his days as a 5-foot-6, 165-pounder at Carol City High in Miami. Yet he persevered to follow his brother to the Miami campus.
