The New York Giants kicked off their training camp with the first practice on Wednesday, marked by a noteworthy deep pass hauled in by wide receiver Braxton Berrios. Jameis Winston connected with Berrios for a significant touchdown, a play that highlighted a potentially new aspect of the receiver's game.
Berrios, typically known as a 5-foot-9 slot receiver with a reputation for pass-catching over the middle, got behind the defense for the long gain. The practice session also saw safety Jevón Holland drop a pass that had floated directly into his hands during a 7-on-7 period, preventing an interception.
The Giants are holding their training camp at the Greenbrier Sports Performance Center, a location surrounded by the Allegheny Mountains. This setting offers a picturesque contrast to their usual practice location in a New Jersey parking lot.
In medical news, tight end Thomas Fidone II and defensive lineman Sam Roberts were activated from the physically unable to perform list in time for the start of camp. Wide receiver Darius Slayton, who missed spring activities while recovering from a sports hernia, participated and appeared to be performing well, notably beating cornerback Paulson Adebo for a substantial gain.
