Good morning Giants Nation, welcome to the Morning Donut! There is so much for us to talk about to day with our beloved Giants. We can talk about how the offense is going to really shine with all the superstars it has, we can discuss how we’re going to fix the defense, there are so many things that we need to think about this offseason. Before we give you our two cents today we thought we’d give you the best Giants articles from around the web. As we do just about every morning on Morning Donut, we give you the chance to wake up with a Big Blue Touchdown!
New York Giants: Why Justin Currie Is the Team’s Best UDFA Signing by Joe Pantorno (Bleacher Report)
"Safety Justin Currie out of Western Michigan certainly will not have an easy road to a starting role with the Giants. With the secondary being one of the team’s top priorities this offseason, the Giants have drafted strong safety Landon Collins out of Alabama in the second round and free safety Mykkele Thompson out of Texas in the fifth in 2015. That makes four defensive backs taken in the past two years."
Jon Beason: New Giants’ defense ‘most complex’ he has played in by Ed Valentine (SB Nation: Big Blue View)
"You have to love the word “aggressive” and the phrase “we will not be dictated to by anybody” if you are a Giants fan. You might be concerned, however, about the “most complex” phrase after the Perry Fewell era, where the defense was often thought to be overly complicated."
Giants rookie Landon Collins will wear No. 21 in honor of Sean Taylor by Dan Graziano (ESPN)
"Collins is mildly obsessed with Taylor, whom he openly describes as the player after whom he’s modeled his game. Collins said he wore No. 26 in college because that’s the number Taylor wore at the University of Miami, that he cried when he heard the news that Taylor had died and that Washington was his favorite NFL team as a kid because that was Taylor’s team."
Odell Beckham: Hamstring not comparable to last year by Josh Alper (Pro Football Talk NBC Sports)
"It’s his right hamstring this time, but things sounded familiar in quotes from Beckham distributed by the team. Beckham said he’d be able to play in a game if the Giants had one this week and used the word “precautionary” to describe the decision to keep things limited while adding that he believes things were totally different this time."
Steve Weatherford OK after early morning car crash by Josh Alper (Pro Football Talk NBC Sports)
"“[Three] hours into my trip at 3:30am I run into a massive body of water on the NJ turnpike, I hydroplane, slam into the median, get blasted in the face by the air bags,” Weatherford wrote. “My rental is totaled, and I walked out without a scratch. I am feeling so incredibly blessed.”"
