Just like last year, I expect him to flash in the pre-season and the few times when he's in the game for JPP. I'm not even sure why at this point he's listed behind Wynn?
How do you expect this will play out? Will he be a "coaches player" and quietly sit behind JPP?
Perhaps there is an injury to JPP and more regular game time brings him down to earth?
Trade bait?
Lots of conjecture there but the fact remains...for an inexperienced (even at the college level) this kid flashed moments of unexpected brilliance. With a year under his belt and with the exponential growth we can reasonably expect this kid might be key to a deep playoff run.

Well, but that also could have been solved by having an offense that could keep actually the ball for a few minutes.
I'd say he's an ascending talent who should see his role increase this year.

FWIW, Okwara is still just 21. He won't even turn 22 until June.
Okwara was one of about five NYG UDFAs who got any signing bonus money last year, and only Roger Lewis got more; so Okwara might have been in the seventh round discussion if the Giants hadn't traded that pick for Brad Wing. In any case, he was a pleasant surprise, though passing Odighizuwa and Wynn was largely a function of their shortcomings.
DRC got hurt on the opening kickoff. Giants kicked GBs butt for 23 mins of the first half. Green Bays last drive of the first half showed the chinks in the armor.
The Hail Mary raised up the whole team and our WRs dropping balls didn't help. rodgers tore up Wade,Apple,Hall,Collins in the secondary on mismatches in the 2nd half. Spags never adjusted.
