The New York Giants are embracing a youth movement in the 2024 season, with promising contributions from their recent draft class. General manager Joe Schoen has focused on building a strong offensive line while utilizing limited draft picks on impactful rookies.
Wide receiver Malik Nabers has quickly emerged as a key player, leading the league in receptions and touchdowns among rookies. Meanwhile, safety Tyler Nubin is stepping up to fill the void left by Xavier McKinney, showcasing his skills in both man and zone coverage.
Cornerback Dru Phillips has also made a mark, excelling in zone coverage despite injury setbacks. Tight end Theo Johnson is gradually integrating into the offense, while running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has shown potential as a dual-threat player after stepping up in Week 5.
As the Giants sit at 2-3, the early performance of their rookies suggests a bright future ahead if they continue to develop and contribute effectively.
