EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Travis Rudolph is easy to root for. The entire country has seen that the former Florida State wide receiver has a huge heart. And though it was recently broken by tragedy, Rudolph remains friendly, humble and optimistic, qualities that could help him overcome long odds to make the Giants’ final roster. […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J – Davis Webb was a member of the Giants organization for just a few minutes when he received his first instructions from the team’s most prominent player.
Eli Manning called Davis soon after the Giants selected the University of California quarterback last week in the third round of the NFL Draft.
“I just wanted to welcome him to the team, let him know if he has any questions or needs anything in the next few days, I was here for him,” Manning said. “He responded to that with, ‘Yes, sir.’ I told him we were off to a bad start. Please do not refer to me as sir. I appreciate the manners, but we’re teammates. I was always taught the same thing. Anyone older than me, I have to call them sir. But hopefully, we straightened that out.”
It’s very likely that no one in the NFL is better suited to coach Davis Webb than Ben McAdoo.
On Friday night, the Giants selected Webb in the third round of the NFL Draft, the 87th overall selection, which is later than he would have preferred to go. Webb played last season at the University of California, and will begin his NFL career learning behind a Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Eli Manning.
*Larry Donnell scored the game-winning touchdown on a 12-yard pass from Eli Manning with 21 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. It was the latest the Giants have scored a go-ahead, game-winning touchdown since Nov. 6, 2011, when Manning‘s one-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ballard with 15 seconds remaining enabled them to win at New England, 24-20.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Robert Ayers knows exactly what the Giants defense must do this week to generate a pass rush against the Atlanta Falcons.
Giants QB Eli Manning discusses rhythm, and an offense that’s ready to play. Yeah, just keep growing. Hopefully go out there, obviously work on getting a fast start. Haven’t been at that in the preseason. So in this game, we won’t have many options—maybe one series or two. So, hopefully, go out there and get […]
By Michael Eisen EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The release of two former Giants draft choices were among the 14 moves today as the team reduced its roster to 74 players before the NFL’s 4 p.m. deadline that required teams to be at 75. Offensive lineman Brandon Mosley (injured/back), a fourth-round choice in 2012, and […]
It is a good bet that it was not lost to the New York Football Giants scouting department that Kenneth Harper was awarded one of the prestigious single-digit jerseys given to the toughest guys on the Temple football team his senior season.
The 5-foot-10, 233 pounder played in every game for Temple since 2011.
One major criticism of the Giants in 2014 was its lack of toughness and Harper certainly brought that up Interstate 95 this spring.
