​Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are the stories you need to know as the Giants get ready to scrimmage the Miami Dolphins this week.Reasons for optimism for all 32 NFL teams | PFFNew York Giants: The 2025 draft class. There was plenty to like about the Giants’ 2025 draft class, with several rookies making an immediate impact. Jaxson Dart earned a 68.1 PFF grade, the second-best mark among rookie quarterbacks, while his 5.2% big-time throw rate led all rookies with at least 100 dropbacks and ranked ninth among all quarterbacks.Running back Cam Skattebo also impressed. His 80.5 PFF grade led all rookie running backs, and he proved incredibly difficult to bring down, averaging 4.1 yards per carry with 3.04 of those yards coming after contact. On defense, edge defender Abdul Carter wasted no time making his presence felt.

But that’s the only thing standing in his way. He showed he’s still got the speed and explosiveness that made him so dangerous during his years in Carolina. He hasn’t slowed down at all at age 28 and should be a centerpiece of new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson’s scheme. 2026 New York Giants training camp: Latest intel, updates | ESPN.comThe referee at practice threw a flag on Colton Hood after he cut off wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in the end zone. The rookie cornerback didn’t like the call and made it known. Coach John Harbaugh saw it unfold. He didn’t agree with Hood’s assessment and sent him to the sideline. But not until they had a quick chat.“I wasn’t angry. I just wanted to make the point that, you know, what are you arguing about?” Harbaugh said. “The ball was in the air and you pushed the receiver and redirected him. It was a restriction.
