Giants rookie Colton Hood got hilarious lesson on pumping gas in New Jersey

New York Giants rookie CB Colton Hood received a hilarious lesson on pumping gas in New Jersey.

Colton Hood, a rookie cornerback for the New York Giants, received an amusing lesson on pumping gas when he arrived in New Jersey. Born and raised in rural Georgia, Hood had never been to New Jersey before his NFL draft. According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, Hood was surprised by the busy and fast-paced environment in New Jersey. A significant surprise for Hood was the fact that New Jersey is the only state where it is illegal to pump gas yourself.

When Hood attempted to fill up his vehicle, a gas attendant refused to help him, explaining that it was against the law. Despite the language barrier, Hood managed to explain that he was capable of pumping his own gas, causing the attendant to walk away. This experience highlighted the differences between the suburban life Hood was familiar with and the realities of life in New Jersey.
