5 ‘things I think’ on the eve of NY Giants training camp
Key Points:
- New York Giants players report for training camp on Tuesday with practice starting Wednesday, marking the first season under 18-year veteran head coach John Harbaugh.
- Harbaugh's "This is the New York Giants" speech, which reminds players of the franchise's storied legacy, has faced criticism that the author deems misguided and unfair.
- Harbaugh's training camp promises increased physicality and intensity, with practices running longer and more demanding drills, reflecting his Baltimore Ravens experience.
- Key position battles to watch include cornerback opposite Paulson Adebo, defensive line roster spots, wide receiver roles including Odell Beckham's status, offensive line backups, and safety starting positions.
- Malik Nabers is recovering from ACL surgery and expected to ramp up gradually in camp, likely missing preseason games but aiming for full readiness by Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.
