BBV's Rivka Boord makes the case for OLB Azeez Ojulari, who the team settles on as a running mate with safety Xavier McKinney and who emerges at slot receiver. For Ojulari, the issue is health as he played just seven regular-season games and was a limited participant in the playoffs. Pro Football Focus viewed his sophomore season as more successful...

Punter Jamie Gillan is getting another shot with the New York Giants
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports 2022 was just okay for Gillan Punter Jamie Gillan was coming off the worst year of his career when the New York Giants signed him in 2022. He was a serviceable punter last year and flashed some impressive power, but he was still far from perfect. His performance was enough to earn a two-year contract, but expectations will be higher as Gillan continues to mature. Does he have what it takes to turn the Giants’ punting game into one of the team’s strengths? By the numbers Height: 6-foot-1Weight: 207Age: 25Position: PunterExperience:...

NFL scouts, including former Giants GM Dave Gettleman, at work during the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. | Set Number: X161765 TK1 A reference sheet for scouting terms The 2020 Summer School session is officially under way. But before we get to using the New York Giants potential schemes as a framework for digging into the X’s and O’s of football, we thought it would be best to provide a series of reference sources.

Azeez Ojulari | Photo by Jim McIsaac/ Besides the obvious names, there are other players whose fly under the radar but will be critical Pick your favorite New York Giants player who is critical to the team’s success. Presumably, the names will be Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and some of the other players who have been invested in through pivotal draft capital and salary cap dollars. But those are not the only players who make a team, and rosters need others to step up to varying degrees. Last season, Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins were two of the players outside...

CB Zyon Gilbert could be on the outside looking in for Giants
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Gilbert will try and build on last year’s small sample size The New York Giants were already thin at cornerback when Adoree’ Jackson went down with an injury late last year. But that lack of talent allowed undrafted free agent Zyon Gilbert to play meaningful snaps after being elevated from the practice squad. Now that the Giants have invested a first-round pick in the position by drafting Deonte Banks and used a sixth-round pick on Tre Hawkins III, the competition for playing time will be even tougher. Let’s take a closer look...

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports Gano is already one of the franchise’s best kickers The New York Giants took a risk by signing Graham Gano in 2020, one year after he missed an entire season with a leg injury.

As we continue profiling the Giants’ 90-man training camp roster, Gano provides an opportunity to step back from the position battles and rookie projections and review one of the most rock-solid spots on the team.

Can Bryce Ford-Wheaton add missing dimension to Giants’ receiver room?
Bryce Ford-Wheaton | Photo by John E. Moore III/ Ford-Wheaton was the Giants’ biggest UDFA investment this offseason After a season in which they seemingly couldn’t buy a wide receiver with talent, the New York Giants enter 2023 with a roster crunch at the position.

Bryce Ford-Wheaton is of a higher profile than a typical undrafted free agent entering such a crowded group due to the $216,000 guaranteed salary and $20,000 signing bonus the Giants gave him....
