Here are the touchdowns, takeaways and other notable plays of the day:
The Giants spent most of the 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 team drills just outside the red zone. Running back Devin Singletary, a veteran offseason addition, got on the board with the first touchdown of the spring on a catch-and-run. Singletary has experience with coach Brian Daboll and the offense, as he spent his first four seasons in Buffalo before playing last year for Houston.
“The engine is a professional,” Daboll said, using Singletary’s nickname, shortly after the signing. “He knows he just has to be Motor. He’s smart. He’s tough. I thought he was productive. I think he’s been productive since he played. Really an excellent teammate. We’re happy to have him.”
Cornerback Alex Johnson scored OTA’s first interception during team drills. The 6-foot, 185-pound undrafted rookie out of UCLA led the Pac-12 with five interceptions in 2023.
Quarterback Daniel Jones, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL on Nov. 22, took the next step in his rehab and participated in 7-on-7 drills. He completed passes to wide receivers Wan’Dale Robinson and Malik Nabers, the sixth overall pick in the Draft. The hope was to have Jones ready for training camp in late July.
Nabers, LSU’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, had a productive first OTA and caught a handful of passes during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work. The latter came off the arm of Drew Lock, who was added this offseason.
Nabers and Johnson weren’t the only rookies getting off to a good start. Cornerback Dru Phillips, Kentucky’s third-round pick, broke up a pass early in the first 7-on-7 period. He’s part of an infusion of young talent into the secondary. The Giants also selected safety Tyler Nubin, who set his University of Minnesota career record with 13 interceptions, in the second round (No. 47 overall).
“I met Tyler the day after the draft, when we both came here,” Phillips said at rookie minicamp. “We got to get to know each other a little bit that day. We went out to dinner. Since we got here, we’ve been in the same room. We’ve both been in the playbook, so we were able to talk football and get to know each other.” between us also outside of that. Like I said, good relationship… He’s vocal. I know I took my time on the playbook, but you hear it a lot at the end, yelling. “You don’t hear yourself calling the plays. I can tell he’s going to be a great player because of his knowledge and how he communicates on the field.”
Tight end Theo Johnson, a fourth-rounder out of Penn State, also got on the scoreboard with a reception.
