New York Giants
The rookies have their numbers, at least for now
The New York Giants have revealed their 2025 draft class' numbers.
Third overall pick Abdul Carter won't be wearing number 56 or his college number of 11. Instead, he'll be wearing number 51.
That number, of course, was worn for 13 years by long snapper (and nominal linebacker) Zac DeOssie. That might not be the linebacker Carter had in mind, but it's a fine number and DeOssie was one of the best in the NFL at what he did. The Giants would certainly be happy if Carter can help the Giants...

The Giants need more from JMS in Year 3
Pro Football Focus recently named New York Giants center John Michael Schmitz as the team’s top breakout candidate heading into the 2025 season.
After struggling through a rough rookie season in 2023, where he was graded as the lowest-ranked center in the NFL, Schmitz took a significant step forward last year. He played nearly 1,000 snaps in 2024 and climbed to 31st out of 43 centers in overall offensive grade. That might not sound like a dramatic leap, but it marks real progress for a player who was once considered a...

Rogers made the practice squad as an undrafted free agent last season
The New York Giants have begun trimming their 90-man roster to make room for undrafted free agent signings and potential rookie tryout signings. The team announced on Thursday that second-year defensive tackle Casey Rogers has been waived.
Rogers made the Giants’ practice squad as an undrafted free agent last season. He was promoted to the active roster late in the season and appeared in two games.
After cutting Rogers, the Giants have 78 players on their roster not counting undrafted free agent signings. While all of those are...

Can Bly’s athleticism make for highlight reel plays?
One of the aspects of undrafted free agency is that it often comes down to the relationships built by scouts as they travel from school to school. Talking to players and coaches before games and during the week can lay the foundations for recruiting undrafted players.
Jordan Bly, a wide receiver out of Gardner-Webb, could be an example of just that.
Bly started his college career at Old Dominion, which could be where the New York Giants first uncovered him. They drafted Tre Hawkins III out of Old Dominion in 2023, and...

Can he be “Turnover Tommy” in the NFL?
The New York Giants didn’t bring in many undrafted defensive players, and most of the ones they did bring in were defensive backs.
That makes sense from a practical standpoint. After all, defensive backs often have dual utility as special teams players thanks to their athleticism and willingness to be physical. They also play positions that have relatively high attrition, so having a deep depth chart can be crucial to getting through the off-season program.
Former Idaho Vandals safety Tommy McCormick is an intriguing option who could be a player to watch...

Thibodeaux doesn’t sound concerned about potential diminished role with presence of Abdul Carter
Ever since the New York Giants selected edge defender Abdul Carter No. 3 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Giants fans have been wondering how the team would find enough snaps for Carter and established edge defenders Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns.
Thibodeaux also seems curious, and not outwardly concerned about a potentially diminished role or an impact on his long-term future with the Giants.
“I think [Carter’s] a great player. We can use him in a lot of different ways,” said Thibodeaux, who was honored...

Does Cambre’s college usage give him an inside track?
The New York Giants brought in six wide receivers as undrafted free agents. With some, the potential upside on offense is easy to see and they’re worth trying to develop at the end of the roster or on the practice squad.
Then there’s Louisiana receiver Dalen Cambre.
Cambre has all of 123 yards receiving and averaged 2.0 yards per game over the course of his college career. He has an intriguing athletic profile, but almost no production to speak of on offense. So why would the Giants sign him to a...
