QB Daniel Jones returned to drills smoothly, displaying sharp skills and expressing readiness for Week 1. WR Gunner Olszewski stood out as an active participant, especially in receiving passes from all quarterbacks. These early highlights hint at the team's potential as they gear up for the upcoming season.

By the Numbers

  • Jones completed 5 of 6 passes during the seven-on-seven drills, displaying sharpness and readiness for the season ahead.
Yes, But

Performance during OTAs may not always directly translate to regular-season success, as the impact of live contact and full pads is yet to be tested.

What's Next

As the Giants progress through OTAs and into training camp, the true test of these standout performances will come when the team faces live-game scenarios and competitive action.

Bottom Line

The early standout performances of Nabers, Jones, and Olszewski offer promising signs for the Giants' upcoming season, fueling optimism for a stronger passing offense and overall team performance.
