Giants OTAs: Quotes from players, coaches
On Monday, the New York Giants held their first of ten organized team activities (OTAs). The players and coaches shared their initial thoughts on the team as a whole.
In the past month, the Giants have held voluntary minicamps, but this was the first time the full offense practiced against the full defense in 2016. No live contact was permitted; however, according to Giants.com, the practice drills included 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills.
