Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Brian Daboll’s final Giants mandatory minicamp in June 2025 called for only two days and fewer than four hours of practice: a two-hour session on day one and a 75-minute practice on day two. John Harbaugh’s minicamp schedule is a lot different.

Before 9/11, the Twin Towers stood tall and proud in the distance from East Rutherford, N.J., for the New York Football Giants. On a June day in this 25th anniversary year of the terror attack that changed everything, for everyone, everywhere, John Harbaugh called a surprise team breakfast where he informed his players that there would be no practice, but an educational trip instead The 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
Harbaugh used the outing to underscore the franchise’s enduring connection to the city and its people, reminding everyone of...
