New York Giants headlines for July 9th
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
“It’s tough to come into this league and have that dramatic impact right away,” “You’re not going against college level athletes every down now. You’re going against top tier tackles and guards… And the NFC East is not an easy division to play in. But from what I’ve heard – and I have some guys that are still playing in the league and on the Giants currently – he could be a problem,” Hogan, a former standout Penn State lacrosse player, said Monday on the Talkin’ Ball with Pat Leonard podcast.“You watch him on film on his college tape, he’s a big body – he’s not enormous, doesn’t have a huge frame – but those guys that have that engine where they’re going and they’re not gonna stop, they can be problems on defense.

24. New York Giants. The Giants’ two highest-graded secondary players in 2024 were rookies: cornerback Andru Phillips and safety Tyler Nubin. To bolster a secondary that has struggled for several years, the team signed safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo this offseason. If the young players continue to develop and the new additions maintain their strong play, this unit could emerge as a surprise in 2025.
OL Evan Neal. The Giants declined to pick up Neal’s fifth-year option this spring, setting up the former No. 7 pick for a crucial 2025 season. Especially as he transitions from right tackle to guard after a disappointing start to his Giants tenure due to injuries and poor play. Neal earned plenty of starting reps this spring as the Giants managed their starters’ workloads. Now, Neal’s most likely path to a starting spot would be beating out the 35-year-old Greg Van Roten for the role of right guard. How the position switch goes will determine Neal’s future in New York.
