As some have noted, Johnson played multiple spots in the secondary at Duke. So that versatility would likely appeal to #Giants.

Any projection can wait, though. I'm sure checking out his knee is the priority.
Probably camp fodder....PS at best...imo

there is some connection to DJ? Not sure if they crossed paths while DJ played there, but I'm sure he follows the Blue Devils and likely visits when he can. Another possibility is one of the coaches reached out to Daniel to put in a good word?

Should be interesting. definitely can't hurt to kick the tires with the current CB situation.
Yes, Jones and Johnson were both starters at Duke in 2018.

If he makes it, Johnson will be a fairly old rookie - especially if he needs a year of practice squad seasoning.

Makes sense to check him out - zero cost, no harm if nothing comes of it.
Can't have enough players from Duke

Jones and Duke connection, the Giants attended the UCLA Pro Day last week.

WR Jake Bobo (6'5" 215 pounds) was at Duke and in his freshman year, his quarterback was Daniel Jones. Caught 10 passes for 167 yards and 1 TD from Jones.

Bobo looks like a 7th rounder or Priority UDFA.

Possibly the new Julian Love?
Nice catch, Y28.

Charbonnet seems like the main attraction. Mafi is a draftable guard prospect.

Thompson-Robinson could be the wild card. Despite the height difference, there are some similarities between his game and DJ's. He happens to be the same size as Tyrod Taylor. 2024 backup QB candidate, maybe? The Giants have a bunch of 7th round picks, and room for a developmental practice squad QB.

Thompson-Robinson with a 7th would be fine with me.
So, with that kind of catch about UCLA

that typifies YANKEE28 catches. Did he change his handle to Y28?

I didn't get the memo, dagnabit.

yes, he changed his handle
Sounds like we are done with any very significant finance moves

I'm all for the idea of trying to take a few swings on guys like this on a 90 man roster, but this isn't a top 53 kind of move.

This is like trying to catch lighting in a bottle with a guy who more likely then not would have a huge win to just make a practice squad.

I know Jake Bobo's mother/family on the mother's side. His father was the #1 receiver for Jay Fiedler at Dartmouth where his mother went to school as well. Both sides of the family are very athletic. One of his mother's sisters was on the USA Olympic Women's hockey team. Another played lacrosse at UVA. Jake has good genes!
How is this sticker-worthy?

Jay Fiedler. Wonder how many here even remember him here. How long ago did he play 20 years ago?

Don't speak too soon. Checked out their senior LT? I'd wager he's going to be a top inside prospect a year from now.
