Lipari Rochester Democrat: Aquinas grad Jarron Jones learning new position with New York Giants
“They see a better fit. They want to take advantage of my size. We have a really good defensive line and in all honesty making the team on defense was pretty slim. Our offensive line is good but they could use a couple more guys. They ... said it could pay big dividends for me.”

I hold firm to the idea we'll carry four RB's (Perkins, Vereen, Darkwa and Gallman) so until injuries hit or (god forbid) Perkins struggles, we won't see Gallman early on.
Remember folks, Darkwa is a very good (not just good) special teams player he just needs to stay healthy and hopefully those leg injuries have finally fully healed up.
I have DT R. Thomas starting on opening day because he's a big body veteran that knows our defensive scheme. I see J. Bromley stepping in as the 3rd DT and backup. We usually don't activate 3 DL's on game day so D. Tomlinson likely watches and learns much like Linval Joseph and Jonathan Hankins did as rookies, though I think Tomlinson may be the "most ready" of the 3.
Tomlinson's strength is his strength. He will likely be an above average run stuffer in this league. Not sure how far he'll go with his pass rush, especially as a rookie. But he could play Snack's position if called upon in the future, the distant future I pray (LOL!).

DT Damon "Snacks" Harrison, whose appetite for ball carriers is ravenous, was another wise investment. Rookie DT Dalvin Tomlinson should replace Johnathan Hankins."

Based on what I've read and the BBI posts, the kid has all the tools he just needs technique work, film work and pre-season playing time to get acclimated to playing under center and reading a defense. He is the #1 rookie guy I'm looking at this camp followed by D. Tomlinson, E. Engram, W. Gallman and Avery Moss.
