Two-time Super Bowl champ Chris Hogan: Abdul Carter could be a ‘problem’ for Giants opponents | New York Daily News

“It’s tough to come into this league and have that dramatic impact right away,” “You’re not going against college level athletes every down now. You’re going against top tier tackles and guards… And the NFC East is not an easy division to play in. But from what I’ve heard – and I have some guys that are still playing in the league and on the Giants currently – he could be a problem,” Hogan, a former standout Penn State lacrosse player, said Monday on the Talkin’ Ball with Pat Leonard podcast.“You watch him on film on his college tape, he’s a big body – he’s not enormous, doesn’t have a huge frame – but those guys that have that engine where they’re going and they’re not gonna stop, they can be problems on defense. Especially if they find unique ways to move him around and put him in different spots and create matchups for him to get creative with his pass rushing and make an impact.”

2025 NFL secondary rankings: Ravens and Chiefs take the top spots | PFF

24. New York Giants. The Giants’ two highest-graded secondary players in 2024 were rookies: cornerback Andru Phillips and safety Tyler Nubin. To bolster a secondary that has struggled for several years, the team signed safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo this offseason. If the young players continue to develop and the new additions maintain their strong play, this unit could emerge as a surprise in 2025.

OL Evan Neal. The Giants declined to pick up Neal’s fifth-year option this spring, setting up the former No. 7 pick for a crucial 2025 season. Especially as he transitions from right tackle to guard after a disappointing start to his Giants tenure due to injuries and poor play. Neal earned plenty of starting reps this spring as the Giants managed their starters’ workloads. Now, Neal’s most likely path to a starting spot would be beating out the 35-year-old Greg Van Roten for the role of right guard. How the position switch goes will determine Neal’s future in New York.

This injured Giants star might not be ready for Week 1 | NJ.com

Andrew Thomas, Big Blue’s All-Pro left tackle who played just six games after suffering a Listfranc injury last season, was noncommittal when asked about his Week 1 status on the Giants Huddle podcast.

“I’m feeling good. Just taking my time with it. Don’t really have a projection right now, but doing everything that the trainers are telling me and hopefully, I am ready to go,” Thomas said via the Giants Huddle podcast. “(Week 1) is the goal, but we try not to make any predictions. Just trying to get ready.”

That means the Giants will head into the 2025 season with the same starting five from a year ago, but they will be protecting a different quarterback in Russell Wilson. They did bolster the group with the signings of veterans Stone Forsythe and James Hudson III, a former fourth-round draft choice who can serve as the swing tackle. The team then used a fifth-round draft choice on Purdue offensive lineman Marcus Mbow, who has the potential to play all five positions but has started out at tackle with the Giants. Speaking of playing multiple positions, Evan Neal has moved to guard. The seventh pick in the 2022 draft has started 27 games in his career, all at right tackle.

Ranking NFL WR, TE, RB groups for 2025: Best and worst teams | ESPN.com

26. New York Giants 2024 rank: 29 | 2023 rank: 27. Malik Nabers lived up to the hopes of Giants fans last season, overcoming dismal quarterback play to rack up 1,200 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. With improved quarterback play in Year 2, Nabers could challenge to rank among the league’s most productive wideouts. Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. was thrust into an impossible position as Saquon Barkley’s replacement and had a quietly solid season with one significant problem: five fumbles, which likely gave the Giants pause as they decided whether to hand the job over to him on a full-time basis this offseason. Fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo is sure to become a fan favorite in Jersey, but the 225-pounder might struggle to run through NFL tacklers as easily as he did in college.

Which quarterbacks are on the hot seat in 2025? | Pro Football Talk

Russell Wilson, Giants: If he’s the Week 1 starter (if Jaxson Dart lives up to his first-round draft stock, Wilson shouldn’t be), the clock will be ticking. Immediately. In 2004, the Giants benched Kurt Warner after nine games for Eli Manning, even though the Giants were 5-4 at the time. When Dart is ready, Dart will play. Even if Wilson makes it through 2025 without getting benched, he’ll have to do plenty to keep Dart on the sideline for 2026.
