New York Giants LB Brian Burns doesn't want to hear any early hype, saying the defense "looks great on paper" but hasn't done *beep* yet.

The New York Giants are still trying to replace two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning almost six years after his retirement. General manager Joe Schoen brought in Russell Wilson as a stopgap for 2025 and drafted Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart to potentially be the future franchise quarterback.

A recent list of potential trade candidates across the league suggested that New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston could be targeted sometime this season.

The Giants need to make some noise during the 2025 NFL season. This Giants player could be their make-or-break player in 2025.

Even though the Giants named Russell Wilson the starter, Chris Broussard is still a firm believer that a competition is going on during training camp.

As fun as it is to watch Winston, all eyes in MetLife Stadium will likely be on Dart, who would potentially be playing in his first preseason game. The Giants traded up to 25th overall in the draft to land Dart, so he's definitely going to have some pressure on him as soon as he steps on the field.

Carter, the No. 3 pick in this year's draft, had an outstanding collegiate career with the Nittany Lions. In his final campaign, he racked up 68 tackles, 24 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Now, he's looking to continue his success in the professional ranks.

Jaxson Dart is continuing to learn the NFL ropes in his first training camp with the Giants, and while the game is slowing down a bit for him, he doesn't want to lose the aggressive edge he played with in college.

Big Blue took the lead for good on a mini-fade from Eli Manning to Plaxico Burress that put the G-Men ahead by a 17-14 margin, but the groundwork for one of the greatest upsets in NFL history came weeks earlier and at a practice just days before the game.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love retained a place among the NFL's top 100 players, while New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers made his debut.

The New York Giants have a new pass rusher, and Malik Nabers gave rookie Abdul Carter 'animal' praise during training camp.
