Now that the 2022 NFL Draft is officially in the books, the NY Giants now have a short break before they get right back to work. Rookie minicamp officially starts on Monday, May 13, 2022, and it will feature their entire draft class and many undrafted free agents that will be there to get minicamp tryouts.
For those UDFAs, they’ll be working hard to prove they have what it takes to compete for a roster spot later this summer once training camp is finally here. For the most part, it’s nice to see new general manager Joe Schoen bring in players that on paper, address several team needs in one fell swoop.
Now it’s all about bringing even more players to rookie minicamp to have plenty of talent ready to round out what should be an improved roster from last season. It’s no secret that many Giants fans would love to forget 2021 entirely due to how poorly the team played but there is hope in the air that they’ll find some hidden gems this summer.
NY Giants rookie minicamp starts on Friday, May 13, 2022
The kind of hidden gems that can end up being future quality players on a football team that definitely needed to get better talent for next season. That’s the goal and it all starts at rookie minicamp so the Giants’ draft class can get an early start to their respective journeys into the NFL.
It won’t be easy for the Giants to bounce back after a 4-13 season but they did do pretty well with their draft selections and already got some very interesting UDFAs in the mix. This should definitely help the cause in adding a lot of options to ensure their roster has the right mix of starters, backups, and the ever-important depth behind them.
The Giants have a lot of work left to do this offseason but optimism is in the air that they can at least be a more competitive team this time around. With a new coaching staff, leadership regime, draft class, and a plethora of UDFAs coming to earn a roster spot, this summer is going to be a fun and interesting one to watch unfold.
It all starts with rookie minicamp and hopefully, we’ll have even more to smile about once it gets underway. After rookie minicamp is in the books, OTA offseason workouts officially begin on Monday, May 16, 2022. Mandatory training camp officially starts on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.
