Tight Ends Also At Duke With Eli and Co

adamg : 4/5/2017 9:33 am
per Raanan on twitter.

Quote:
It's not just Giants wide receivers and quarterbacks at Duke. Some of the tight ends (Will Tye and Jerell Adams) are also there working out.


Some were asking why it was just WRs. It turns out some other guys made it.
I'm glad to see that Adams went  
Jay on the Island : 4/5/2017 9:59 am : link
He is putting in the extra work and will be a young player to keep a close eye on during training camp.
high hopes for Adams  
annexOPR : 4/5/2017 10:00 am : link
that he could develop into a Martellus Bennet type TE. He can block and he has that size/"freak" element to his game.

Hope he puts it all together ... Giants draft this year should indicate how they feel about Adams long term outlook.

Adams opens their options up as well.

If Njoku or Howard are gone, we could still give a significant role in the offense to one of the (relatively) smaller receiving TEs coming out like Engram or Everett as a day 2 pick.
Very good news  
SLIM_ : 4/5/2017 10:17 am : link
was going to ask that question yesterday in that post.

SO how come no LaCosse? Is he still recovering. I think he could push Tye off the roster and not ready to call him fragile yet. Had a pulled hammy the 1st year as a UDFA. Those guys are on a very short leash so the cut was premature.

I'm also high on Adams so glad that he is there. It would be great if we can land Njoku and Adams progressed. Would be a far cry from last year.

I'm with that. Sounds too good to be true for this offense. We'll soon see.

god forbid a player gets time away from the game during the OFF season...

gronkowski was at wrestlemania and oarticipated and you dont see patriot fsns ripping him...

Why are trolling for Beckham hate? Asking a rhetorical question to a topic not yet brought up in order to fan the flame on old news. Try harder.

yeah because the one player im worried about is the most dynamic one on the roster and the one who is one of the top 5 receivers in the game since his rookie year..

not to mention that Eli has been throwing to Beckham since Odell was a kid in HIGH SCHOOL..

The player im the least concerned about showing up to some non team run workout is Beckham..

Wake me up when he skips OTA's or training camp..
Have any of you ever scheduled a group event  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 4/5/2017 11:16 am : link
with people. When it comes to that many people, you pick a date and say this is when it is happening, and whoever can make it, makes it.

Maybe it was an emergency oral surgery like wisdom teeth, or maybe he had is scheduled well ahead of time, and this was the week that work best for the group as a whole.

Get a freakin clue. If it was an OTA he would have been there.
Some of you want to turn this into an offensive OTA  
Ivan15 : 4/5/2017 11:40 am : link
I think this was by invitation only. I don't know if Manning or Cutcliffe was handing out the invitations but some guys probably had other things scheduled anyway.

And they probably didn't want to impose on Duke's hospitality too much.

Accept it for what it is - a pickup practice at the park with a bunch of friends and acquaintances.

Adams  
George : 4/5/2017 11:42 am : link
could be a key figure this spring. If he shows well in OTAs, he might convince the front office that they don't need to spend a high pick on a TE.
Adams is absolutely the X Factor in the TE equation  
Torrag : 4/5/2017 11:46 am : link
If the Giants see him as an eventual starting caliber player we could wait longer than expected to draft one.

Yeah and the surgeon has a schedule as well.
I hope he's getting fitted

Jake Butt in 3/4 would be a nice addition, high floor guy who can handle the underneath stuff with Adams as the deep threat complement...

Very true. I had schedule my routine cleaning 6 months out.
I'm also interested in Adams and think we may have got

a steal considering his size, speed and blocking ability.
Is there any truth to the rumor...

That Larry Donnell is also at Duke working with the gymnastics team on somersaults?
Can you keep the shitty Beckham hot takes to that other thread?

well id rather he get whatever surgery he needs done

finished before ACTUAL team organized workout begin. which is far more important than going to Duke and tossing a football around..
Good pic of them all

thats not a football and thats not CutCliffe !!!!!

We've been had !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
None of our TEs  
shelovesnycsports : 4/5/2017 6:02 pm : link
would be drafted in this years TE class...None.
Is that Will Tye?  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/5/2017 6:09 pm : link
You would never know he's a pro athlete.
Ellison  
annexOPR : 4/5/2017 6:14 pm : link
can practice his blocking stance in his living room ... no need to fly to Duke
Let's see how well I recognize them in order in that picture...  
NYG27 : 4/5/2017 6:26 pm : link
Jerell Adams
Brandon Marshall
Tavarres King
Will Tye
Coach K
Eli Manning
Roger Lewis
Sterling Shepard
Kevin Norwood

I think that's about 99% correct, only guy not sure about is Kevin Norwood but pretty sure that's him.
Last Guy

It's being reported by James Kratch that Rhett Ellison and Shaun Draughn are also present at the Duke camp
That's not Norwood or Johnson on the end.

I think it's Draughn. - ( New Window )

Sorry Gidie missed your post.

And Devon, you're right. I was quoting from an article that I either misread or it was misreported. My bad. Shaun Draughn is the last guy pictured there.

I am a firm believer in looking at the total picture. I sincerely hope Shaheen is available and we get him in the 3rd. He closed out his final two seasons for Ashland with 127 receptions for 1,670 yards and 26 touchdowns! Although it isn't the same caliber as PAC-10 Arizona, he dwarfed Gronkowski's production. At 6'6"/278lbs., he still ran under 4.8/40 and 7.09 3-Cone, he is a DC/LB's nightmare! P.S. That 7.09 3-Cone was better than some WR/RB's who weighed much less, meaning, he is "extremely" agile, especially at his size.
3-Cone:
Curtis Samuel-7.09
Carlos Henderson-7.18
Malaci Dupre-7.19
Dalvin Cook-7.27
Wayne Gallman7.17
Semie Perine-7.26
