That said, the coaches no doubt used the practices to determine what the training camp depth chart (or as Daboll likes to call it, rep chart) might look like this summer, something that the individual player performances during the spring helped to set.
So, letās take a look at who might have helped and hurt his respective stock this spring.
The rookie first-round draft pick has not only performed as advertised, but his teammates and coaches have lauded him for rapidly learning the playbook.
āI think he can be a tremendous weapon for us,ā said quarterback Daniel Jones. āHe can do everything, thereās not much he canāt do really from a route-running standpoint.
āHeās dynamic either way with the ball in his hands, and strong, fast, explosive, and catches the ball well. Yeah, he does a lot well.ā
Head coach Brian Daboll noted earlier in the spring that there were a few things NAbers was still learning within the offense, but it sure did look and sound as though Nabers, whom the Giants are counting on to jumpstart the deep passing game, is going to be ready to hit the ground running this summer.
WR Wan’Dale Robinson
While everyone was oohing and aahing over Nabers, Robinson was busy doing his thing, looking light years ahead of where he was this time last year during his recovery from ACL surgery. The confidence in the young man wasnāt hard to miss as he ran routes and interacted with his teammates.
Best of all is that given Robinsonās skill set, heās not necessarily locked into a limited role on this offense. āThat’s something Iāve always liked to be able to do, just kind of contribute on both sides of the game with the running game and passing game. So whatever they choose and want to use me as then I’ll do that,ā he said.
CB Cor’Dale Flott
Flott, primarily a slot cornerback last year, is going to get his chance to win the starting perimeter job opposite of Deonte Banks after the Giants were unable to sign some of their reported veteran targets like TreāDavous White, Darious Williams, and Stephen Nelson.
