What Should Giants Fans Focus on During Mini-Camp?
The New York Football Giants kick off their official mini-camp on Friday, May 9th, and will last until Sunday, May 11th. This is a weekend orientation where all of the new rookies will get to meet everyone at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center at MetLife Stadium and get to find out who they are working with. Jaxson Dart, Abdul Carter, and Cam Skattebo will all be the top players at this year's mini-camp, acclimating themselves to the Giants lifestyle and learning the ropes of becoming a part of this team. Each of these standout rookies has something to focus on during this year's training camp.
Carter has already made an impact on the team. Many fans are ready to see what he is going to be able to do, being that he was the top defensive prospect in this year's draft. This young linebacker already has a dynamic playing style. He has previously already impressed with quick instincts and explosive bursts during his college playing days.
Dart has gotten tons of attention from Big Blue Nation. He may be sitting behind both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to learn the offensive terminology and adjust to the way the NFL works. He may be new, but he’s already showing great mentality and has a gunslinger of an arm. The Giants are ready to invest in his future starting in the next 24 hours. They are shaping him into the future franchise quarterback that this team is going to need in the next few years to come.
Lastly, Skattebo is quickly emerging as one of the most intriguing players around mini camp. This young running back is already showing a bright future ahead that many are looking forward to. His agility and pass-catching abilities really could earn him a starting role. He is already being praised for his skill set. If Skattebo can give the Giants' backfield some depth ahead of the new season, he may just be the New York Giants' story of the summer.
As the rookies head to camp, each one is already bound to make an impression. From Carter's velocity, to Dart’s potential, and Skattebo’s versatility, this area of talent may be the injection that the franchise will need for this coming season and the next several years. They are trying to put life back into this team again. Each one will be a great start to build the foundation for the future after a disappointing season where the Giants finished 3-14.
