The New York Giants hold their mandatory mini-camp Tuesday thru Thursday, June 7-9. Let’s summarize what we have learned this spring and what we can expect to see during the next few days.<\/p>\n
The Giants have an intriguing rookie class, and will need contributions from many of these first-year players to have a successful 2022 season. Let’s go through what we know so far.<\/p>\n
Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux (Round 1, No. 5)<\/strong> – Unfortunately, we aren’t likely to see Thibodeaux do much this week. Thibodeaux has not practiced since suffering some type of lower-body injury during the first week of OTAs. Last Thursday, when media had access, Thibodeaux was sprinting and doing agility drills under the watchful eye of a Giants trainer. <\/p>\n Coach Brian Daboll was evasive last week about a timeline for Thibodeaux to get back on the field. Among the things he said about Thibodeaux:<\/p>\n This will fall on deaf ears, but let’s get all bent out of shape about Thibodeaux’s injury until we get to training camp and see where things stand.<\/p>\n OT Evan Neal (Round 1, No. 7) <\/strong>– Neal is clearly entrenched at right tackle. Offensive line coach Bobby Johnson said this about Neal early in OTAs:<\/p>\n \u201cHe puts a lot of pressure on himself. I’ve learned that in a short period of time. One of my keys with him right now is hey my job is to coach you. If you need any pressure applied let me do it. Don’t do it to yourself. You’re too young, you won’t know when to turn it off\u2026 right now my job is to teach, my job is to coach, my job is to mentor. I don’t need to apply any more pressure than what’s there. He had enough pressure the day he was drafted.<\/p>\n “He wants to be really good. To me as a coach that’s the first thing. “<\/p>\n Veteran right guard Mark Glowinski has been impressed.<\/p>\n “Just dominant. As long as he gets his hands on guys, that’s the end of the story, \u201dGlowinski said. \u201cSo just making sure that we put him in the right place; make sure that he is doing the right things. He has come along drastically every day, learning more and more. “<\/p>\n\n
