3 early NY Giants concerns from training camp and 2 positives
Concern: Drew Lock's poor play
While this isn't a massive concern right now, as this is Daniel Jones's team and Lock will be the backup to start the season, it's still not an ideal thing to see. Lock has never been great, but in recent years he's been a great backup QB, which is exactly why the Giants signed him this offseason. If he fails to produce if called upon, it could get disastrous for New York.
Daniel Jones went 9/13 today with 3 touchdowns to Malik Nabers, Jalin Hyatt & Lawrence Cager. Still a little off on some short throws but got the ball in right spots.

Drew Lock struggled at 6/13 with a TD he almost missed to a wide open Dennis Houston.
Jones has a very significant injury history and the Giants have had to rely on their backup QBs more often than they'd like to. If this start to training camp is a signal of how the season will go for Lock, it may be Tommy DeVito time again.
Lock started off camp by throwing an interception on his very first pass and hasn't looked like himself since. Hopefully the nerves of New York are getting to him, and Lock will return to normal before we know it. He did throw a dime to Jalin Hyatt for a TD that reminded everyone of what he can get done. Let's hope he just keeps on improving.
