The New York Giants have been devoid of characters and flavor the past few seasons (Tommy DeVito and his agent notwithstanding), and now are playing catch-up. This offseason, the addition of three new quarterbacks from three different backgrounds is adding a new vibe to the culture.

Many draft analysts viewed Jaxson Dart as a late 2nd-round talent, so when the Giants traded back up into the first round to select him, it reminded me of when Dave Gettleman reached for Daniel Jones.

Malik Nabers hasn't been a part of the New York Giants' offseason program. An analyst recently revealed the reason behind his absence.

Smith told the Chronicle that there have been ICE raids in his girlfriend’s neighborhood in Whittier and added: “These are hard-working individuals in the community who didn’t cause any problems. I’ve been there for years, and they make things go.”

Ultimately, this is a good sign for the Giants, though Dart definitely will experience his share of rookie hiccups (like his previous open OTAs practice ). And coach Brian Daboll might have to harness that confident approach at times, if turnovers pop up.

LOS ANGELES — Matt Chapman told reporters on Friday afternoon that he will wear a splint on his right hand for one more week, then potentially begin rehab exercises next week.

Slayton, a downfield threat entering his seventh with the Giants, stands to benefit from the addition of Wilson, whose deep ball remains his go-to. Wilson has already demonstrated a propensity to throw down the field, even on concepts when an underneath receiver is the primary read, Slayton said.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s command was poor, and the strike zone was bad in the 6-2 loss to Logan Webb and the Giants Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
