The New York Giants recently concluded their spring practice, with several players experiencing shifts in their prospects.
Stock Up:
- Russell Wilson: The veteran quarterback displays strong leadership and confidence, earning the trust of his teammates. His experience and command have positively impacted the team.
- Jaxson Dart: The rookie quarterback has shown growth, making both impressive and poor plays but appearing increasingly comfortable and promising.
- UDFA Wide Receivers: Da’quan Felton, Beaux Collins, Dalen Cambre, and Juice Wells have impressed during minicamp, indicating one may secure a roster spot.
- Cor’dale Flott: The fourth-year cornerback is competing for a starting role, splitting first-team reps with Deonte Banks.
- Jalin Hyatt: After a lackluster start to his Giants career, Hyatt is gaining momentum, aided by Wilson’s ability to utilize his skills effectively.
- Dane Belton: With four interceptions this spring, Belton is enhancing his chances of contributing more during the upcoming season.
- Evan Neal: While not standout, Neal has shown improvement in limited reps, transitioning from tackle to guard.
Stock Down:
- Anthony Johnson/Victor Dimukeje: Both players struggled with injuries, affecting their practice time and prospects.
- Darius Alexander/Cam Scattebo: Injuries limited the participation of these rookies, which could hinder their development.
- Deonte Banks: The first-round pick is facing competition for his starting role for the first time.
- Tommy DeVito: Described as the "head stateman" of the QB room, his minimal practice exposure places him as a likely fourth-string option.
- Bryce Ford-Wheaton: Underwhelming performances have put Ford-Wheaton’s roster spot in jeopardy amid stronger showings from other receivers.
