Steve Spagnuolo on Giants defense: ‘It’s going to take a little while’ by Dan Graziano (ESPN)

"Back in charge of the New York Giants‘ defense for the first time in seven years, Steve Spagnuolo realized pretty quickly that he has a lot of work to do."

Landon Collins ready to prove critics wrong, fill big shoes with Giants by Ebenezer Samuel (NY Daily News)

"The Giants were more than happy to trade up to the top of the second round and draft Rolle’s replacement. But Collins remains motivated by the snub. He says the knock against him couldn’t be further from the truth. “I played in the box at Alabama, but I was a safety,” he says. “It was not an ‘in-the-box safety.’ I played free, strong, and played our ‘money’ position, which was our fifth (defensive back) on the field. I was not just an in-the-box safety.”"

Giants expect Jason Pierre-Paul to be at team’s minicamp in June by Jordan Raanan (NJ.com)

"That isn’t the case next month when the Giants hold their annual “mandatory” minicamp from June 16-18. But it’s only mandatory if Pierre-Paul signs the one-year contract worth close to $15 million as a franchise-tagged defensive end before the minicamp. Therefore, it is again his choice."

"Ayers needed to be carted off the field to head inside for testing. When the results came back, both Ayers and the Giants breathed a sigh of relief. Tests revealed no serious damage to the ankle or knee."
