Giants have signed some new players. Offensive lineman named Pena is one of them
Area Junc: Was there a tweet about Kennard?  
Big Blue Blogger : 6/18/2014 11:16 am : link
Anyway, here's his combine workout tape. Looks kinda stiff to me, but what do I know? Hands of stone, apparently.
Kennard at Indy. - ( New Window )
Stiff hipped. Not very instinctive.

Giants have been very impressed with Kennard. He's already seeing time with the #1s and #2s.

On other side of ball we continue to see McClain middle, Kennard Sam. Giants seem to really like Kennard.
Is Kennard better suited for inside or out?

Rough day so far for Eli Manning. A pick by Zack Bowman, a ball that slipped out of his hands add some errant throws. #nyg

Eric from BBI : Admin : 6/18/2014 12:08 pm : link
BB'56...they are playing him at both middle and weakside (Perry's strongside).
Preston Parker is a solid veteran WR  
NYGmen58 : 6/18/2014 12:12 pm : link
I think he has a good chance of making the final roster, especially if Mario goes on PUP to start the season.

Hearing about Kennard....  
Milton : 6/18/2014 12:15 pm : link
...is reminding me of another former 5th round pick, Sam Garnes. He first began getting props in rookie mini-camp and he was the starting safety by the time the season rolled around.
Devon Kennard is playing well so far partly because IMO  
Bobby Epps : 6/18/2014 12:15 pm : link
he's a VERY smart guy and almost certainly picks up his assignment very quickly because of his smarts.

Proof of his smarts: got his college degree in 2012 and then his Master's degree with a 3.23 GPA.

Hoping very much that the Giants got a steal in the 5th Round.

Donnell was open in he seam there. Had a step on Rolle but couldn't haul the pass in. Speed is there, though. #nyg

And @OBJ_3 is in the end zone: put a nifty move on Zack Bowman on the right side and hauls in a TD from Ryan Nassib. #NYG
Of the 4 guys in today for a tryout, IMO only  
Bobby Epps : 6/18/2014 12:37 pm : link
Everett Dawkins DT has good measureables.

The other 3 IMO are kinda slow across the board, in all tests.
Agree Eric

Hughes reporting yesterday was so much better than the rest of these beat guys put together.
