Big day at 1925 Giants Drive tomorrow starts at 9:15 with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen joint news conference. Practice begins at 10 a.m. followed by player interviews.
Last time fans were at NYG training camp, Daniel Jones was a rookie and Eli Manning was the starting QB.

Joe Schoen said they interviewed 3-4 candidates for the director of college scouting position, but won’t fill it this year. Dennis Hickey, the new assistant director of player personnel, will primarily handle those duties and then Schoen will reassess next offseason.

I would hope they find the right guy soon after the season as next spring likely figures they'll be college QB hunting..
Far be it from me to defend Pat Leonard, whom I've likened to Star Trek villain Colonel Green, but what exactly did he say that was "dickish?" Injuries have plagued the Giants in recent years, and concerns about player durability should be on every fan's mind. It seems like Daboll & Co. are taking a new approach, but only time will tell if it's successful.
I thought it might be Slater too, but his Twitter feed is just a link to team articles and it doesn't say he covers the "Giants" but "NFL reporter/analyst".
If Zack isn't covering the team anymore, we're going to get less info.

This makes me think Schoen has a guy in mind but he's currently under contract and he would rather wait a season a get his guy than bring in an option he isn't thrilled with.
