New York Giants
What did we learn during Friday’s practice?
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants completed their third day of training camp on Friday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center. Here are some of the takeaways.
Today was my first day as a credentialed member of the media. Eclectic melodious tunes of Eminem and Mr. Brightside permeated the slightly windy, sunny day in late July. After listening to head coach Brian Daboll talk, we took the field to see every day drill periods with position groups. Alone, off on the far field, Gunner Olszewski fielded punts.

Let’s take a very early look at who’s stock might be rising and who’s stock might be falling
With three New York Giants training camp practices in the books, let’s do an early “stock up/stock down” report. These are very early impressions as the Giants have not yet practiced in pads and it is impossible — or unfair — to draw many conclusions from what we have seen thus far.
Daniel Jones — The quarterback has been inconsistent over three practices, missing some throws he should be able to make. The fact is, though, he is practicing....

The New York Giants were back on the practice field on Friday as their 2024 training camp barrels on. Head coach Brian Daboll met the media and was more forthcoming than in his previous sessions this week.
Of course, the main subject was rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, the team’s first-round draft pick this past April. Nabers put on a show at Thursday’s practice, catching three touchdowns and appearing to be basically uncoverable.
Daboll is pleased, to say the least, at what he’s seen from Nabers thus far.
"He's got the right mindset."

Could Cager force his way into an expanded role?
During mandatory minicamp, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll did something coaches don’t often do. He offered unsolicited praise of one of his players — reserve tight end Lawrence Cager.
“I’ve been happy with Cage...Probably one of the most improved players throughout the offseason that we’ve had relative to playing fast, being able to use his speed, not thinking, being in the system here for a little bit,” Daboll said at the time. “I’ve been very happy with his progress.”
Cager told Big Blue View after Thursday’s practice that he...

Veteran guard Justin Pugh has not retired from the game of football and would like to play again in 2024. However, there are only a select number of situations that could lure him back.
At the top of that list is a reunion with the New York Giants.
“I do still want to play,” Pugh said on The Zach Gelb Show. “I think for me, it comes down to a place I’m familiar with and a place I’m comfortable with. I’d probably would say that place is the New York Giants if I were to come back and play this...

The entire football world has seemingly weighed in on the negotiations between New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and running back Saquon Barkley thanks to Hard Knocks.
Many have been heavily critical of Schoen and his approach to the superstar back, who ultimately left New York to sign with their hated rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles.
But Schoen doesn’t care about the outside noise. He has “no regrets” over the negotiations or how the relationship with Barkley ended.
“No. No, I wouldn’t have (done anything differently),” Schoen told Kay Adams during a Thursday appearance on Up & Adams. “I think...

When the New York Giants went in search of weapons to bolster the offensive line this offseason, Jermaine Eluemunor was at the top of the list. There were others, but Eluemunor signed a two-year contract to help protect the Giants’ quarterbacks.
On Wednesday, Eluemunor was baptized by fire when he took a huge hit from defensive stud Dexter Lawrence.
“I thought I was dead, at one point,” Eluemunor laughed. “No, I’m just playing. It was painful, let’s just say that. I don’t really know how to diagnose injuries and stuff but it just sucked. It wasn’t fun.”

The New York Giants selected cornerback Deonte Banks in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft but don’t let his youth fool you. Banks is the one sure corner the Giants have set this year, and he is ready to embrace a leadership role among the corners.
The average age of the Giants’ corners is 24 years. At 23, Banks is among the youth in the ranks, but last season he ranked fifth among all Giants defenders in solo tackles with 53.
After getting a full season under his belt and experiencing his first offseason as a pro, Banks...
