We always try to do “takeaways” from events going on around the New York Giants. There is really only one major “takeaway” from Thursday’s first day of training camp, when players reported and went through a conditioning test. That is that the optimism and the fresh feeling that permeated the organization during spring workouts is still going strong. Optimism was the theme of the day at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
- Safety Landon Collins is optimistic that both he and the defense as a whole will be better than in 2015.
- Jason Pierre-Paul is optimistic that offseason surgery on his damaged hand that will allow him to wear a glove rather than a club will help him return to dominance.
