New York Giants news for Thursday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Alabama's Jalen Milroe would be an excellent fit in Brian Daboll's offense. Daboll would be the ideal head coach to maximize Milroe's skill set.

Tyler Nubin has been one of the most consistent players on the Giants’ defense this season. The rookie safety has registered eight or more total tackles in five of the last seven games, including several outings where he finished as the team’s leading tackler. But perhaps the most impressive part of the second-round pick’s performance this season has been his ability to stay on the field. Through the first 10 weeks, Nubin has played every defensive snap in nine games, and...
