Giants add to tight end room
With the No. 107 pick in Round 4 of the 2024 NFL Draft the New York Giants selected Theo Johnson, tight end, Penn State.
There was some thought that the Giants might use this pick on South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler. As they have done to this point in the draft, though, the Giants bypassed quarterback to add positional depth.
Selecting a tight end makes sense given the uncertainty surrounding whether Darren Waller intends to play or retire. The Giants added free agent tight ends Chris Manhertz and Jack Stoll, but both are blocking...

Can Johnson round out the Giants’ tight end position?
The tight end position is always an interesting one to scout. The prospects who generate the most pre-draft buzz are always the ones who have the most receiving upside — and highlight reel plays.
Tight ends who were primarily used as blockers and were secondary receiving options in their offense tend to be overlooked by the community at large. However, those “do it all” tight ends are often unheralded role players who help a modern 11-personnel offense function.
Penn State’s Theo Johnson is a classic “Y” tight end who certainly passes...

With the 107th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, the New York Giants have selected Penn State tight end Theo Johnson.
With the uncertainty surrounding Darren Waller and the potential that he retires, the Giants played it safe and grabbed one of the best tight ends still on the board.
The 6-foot-6, 260-pound Johnson met with the Giants during the pre-draft process and earned a wildly impressive relative athletic score (RAS) of 9.93, which was ninth-best among tight ends since 1987.
So proud of you Theo! You have been a phenomenal teammate & mentor...

Giants add two pieces to secondary that needed more talent
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has, without a lot of fanfare, built a defensive core that he hopes will be together for several years.
“I know the players that are under contract for more than one year. So again, Dexter [Lawrence] is under contract. His contract status. [Brian] Burns is for five years. Kayvon [Thibodeaux] for three. [Bobby] Okereke for another three, Tae Banks for four, and just got [Tyler] Nubin for four years,” Schoen said on Friday night. “You’ve got a young core group of players that...

When a player has dedicated their entire life to the pursuit of professional football, hearing their name called on draft day elicits an emotional reaction.
That’s true whether or not they expect to be drafted.
For some, the reaction is elation and excitement. For others, more raw emotions come pouring out.
On Friday night during Round 2 of the 2024 NFL draft, Minnesota safety Tyler Nubin had his moment when the New York Giants came calling.
When informed that East Rutherford would be his new home, Nubin could not contain himself. What transpired was one of the most real and...

*David Silver asks: We understand Darius Slayton wants his contract extended, and is staying away from OTAs. You had a piece comparing him to other WRs, and he really does seem to outperform his salary year after year. He’s intelligent, reliable, drops the ball less, and he just finds a way. Regardless of whether they choose a WR, isn’t; he a great person for the receivers’ room who comes at a reasonable price? It’s not like a rookie and Jalin Hyatt are a lock to make Daniel Jones better. Why do you think Joe Schoen is not...
