Bruggemann Midland Park News: Midland Park students 'Play 60' with Giants rookie
"On a serious note, Moore — who wears the number 98 to honor his mentor, former Giants linebacker and fellow Texan Jessie Armstead — discussed the importance of respect. "As a rookie, I respect the older players like Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul and learn from their experience," he said. "I know I have to put my time in and bite my tongue." He told the students just as he respects his teammates, they should respect their classmates and teachers. "I still keep in touch with my teachers and tell them what I am doing," said Moore, who plans to attend law school."

La Canfora CBS Sports: Class of 2011 5th-year options: No-brainers, tough calls, no ways
"No. 19 overall, Prince Amukamara, CB, NY Giants ($6.9M): Amukamara has ability, to be sure, but he has been injured and his durability is in question, and a salary like this puts him up there given the falling salaries for many corners the past few years. Then again, this is a real position of need for the Giants, and they haven't hit in the draft recently like they are accustomed to, and they have some serious passing attacks to deal with in their division. The Giants are still mulling their options, and could go back and forth on it.
My Gut: They don't pick it up"

Prisco CBS Sports: Monday Musings: Scouts wise to believe Clowney will succeed in NFL
"• Some have speculated that the signing of quarterback Josh Freeman by the Giants sends a message about Eli Manning being on the downside of his career and concern about his ankle that recently required surgery. I think it's more of an indictment of last year's pick, Ryan Nassib. If he made progress last season, the Giants probably wouldn't need to sign Freeman. But he didn't. As for Freeman, this could be a good situation, playing for Tom Coughlin and behind Manning. He is a year removed from a pretty good season for Tampa Bay. He's also relatively young at 26. So spend a year as a backup, work to get better, and then move on."

12 – New York Giants – Aaron Donald – DT – Pittsburgh
The Giants could go for a number of players in this slot. They have needs on the D-Line, wide receiver, linebacker, and tight end. Donald lacks ideal size, but he has a non-stop motor and gives the G-Men an inside pass rusher they don’t currently have.
