Bill Parcells, Michael Strahan and Brandon Jacobs visit Giants during minicamp
The New York Giants were out on the field on Tuesday afternoon, the first of their two mandatory minicamp sessions this week that will be open to the media.
Star running back Saquon Barkley was not in attendance as he is not currently under contract but several other notables were, such as Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells, Hall of Fame defensive end Michael Strahan and two-time Super Bowl champion running back Brandon Jacobs.
Former Giants public relations man, Avis Roper, who is now a member of the league office, also stopped by.
Parcells, 81, has been retired from the NFL since 2011. His last job was as the Executive Vice President of Football for the Miami Dolphins. One of his top scouts was a young man by the name of Joe Schoen, who is now the general manager of the Giants.
Schoen accompanied his former boss around the practice field as the Giants ran through some drills.
