Touchdowns & takeaways from OTA No. 7 | Giants.com​

Art Green and Nic Jones, two cornerbacks who each played double-digit games for the Giants last season, teamed up for the first of two interceptions on the day. Green took advantage of a pressure by Jones (who may have had a sack in a live setting) and intercepted a pass in the first 11-on-11 portion of practice. Rookie cornerback Colton Hood has now made a nice play in back-to-back practices. On Friday, he broke up a pass during a red-zone drill. On Monday, he snagged an interception with his momentum going the other way for what would have been a pick-six.

Jaxson Dart opened practice with a scramble to buy time and find Isaiah Likely. Fellow tight end Theo Johnson followed it with a long catch-and-run. Dart and rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields connected a few times for big gains, including a nice play on the sideline.

Eric Edholm’s pick: New York Giants: The Giants have a challenging schedule with some really tough road tests, but I think this outfit is far better than the four-win team Big Blue fielded in 2025. Jaxson Dart and an emerging offense could be above average, especially if Malik Nabers is ready to go. The Giants’ defense, even without Dexter Lawrence, has a strong lot of talent. John Harbaugh appears reenergized, and I expect him to make the G-Men playoff contenders in Year 1.

Giants’ Colton Hood on NFL transition: Have to be more mentally sound | USAToday.com​

Hood was recently asked what he felt would be the biggest transition from the college level to the pro level for him.

“I think the more mental part of the game. Just, you know, making sure I’m in my playbook, knowing what I need to do, when I need to do it, and then kind of like just watching film and knowing what I got, what the guys around me have. But I think that’ll make me better at my job, so definitely those two things,” he said.

New York Giants Draft Grade: B+. Instant impact: Francis Mauigoa, OL; Best value: Jack Kelly, LB; Riskiest pick: Arvell Reese, EDGE/LB. The success of this draft hinges on the development of Reese, a one-year starter who will likely be learning a new hybrid role in New York. He has an elite ceiling, but an inexperienced player learning a new position in the pros is inherently a bust risk.

Every NFL Team’s Biggest Position Battle and Top Potential Breakout Players | Bleacher Report​

Top Breakout Candidates: QB Jaxson Dart, Edge Abdul Carter If the Giants do have a capable receiving corps, they should expect Dart to make a second-year jump. Of course, he’ll have to stay healthy throughout the season for it to actually happen. Dart showed a high ceiling as a rookie (91.7 passer rating), but he also showcased a risky play style that led to missed time due to a concussion. One of Harbaugh’s first tasks should involve convincing Dart to play smarter.

New York’s other 2025 first-round pick, Abdul Carter, should also see a jump. He had just four sacks as a rookie but recorded an impressive 34 quarterback pressures. With an improved roster and improved coaching, Carter should finish more frequently as a pass-rusher.

New York Giants All-PFF Team: The best players of the past 20 years | PFF​

Ahmad Bradshaw captures a surprising backfield nod: In a tightly contested committee debate, Bradshaw narrowly edged out Saquon Barkley for the starting running back spot due to his superior pass-blocking marks and high rate of converting carries into first downs or scores.

Landon Collins outpaces Xavier McKinney at safety: Despite McKinney displaying more refined traits on coverage snaps, Landon Collins secured the starting safety role due to his elite utility as a run-stopping box defender and an extra 900 career snaps in a Giants uniform.
