Last week at the John Bartlett show at The New York Public Library we met NY Giant Ramses Barden and had no idea who he was! Whoops! The wide receiver (we did our homework) chatted with us before showtime about his style, Mob Wives and his astounding height.

Why do athletes enjoy sitting front row?
The versatility. We get painted in the corner for being jocks, and clothes gives us the opportunity to find our individuality.

Should more people in fashion be sitting front row at a Giants game?
We can never have enough fans.

Is it hard for you to find clothes?
Extremely hard! You get lucky every now and then and have to buy a couple of the same thing in different colors to take advantage, because it’s so rare to find something that fits properly.

What’s been a memorable front row memory now that you’re a regular…?
I was at the Jill Stuart show, and they sat next to one of the girls from Mob Wives.

Were you scared sitting next to a Mob Wife?
She was really welcoming. They told me afterward who she was. If I knew beforehand, I would have been on edge.

How would you describe your style?
I’m pretty subtle. I don’t like too much crazy.

How do you like your uniform?
Nike just started making our uniforms, and they are cut a little bit better than before. That will make for some better pictures.

Plans to win the Super Bowl this year?
I hope so. You can never guarantee. Last year was a great ride and everyone wants to do it again.

How tall are you?
I’m 6’6’’.

Wowsers! You really are a giant!
I am!
