Giants veteran couldn't be having a worse training camp (and it's time to panic)

If the New York Giants were hoping Year 3 would be the breakout for John Michael Schmitz, they might want to start preparing for Year 4. Or a different center altogether.

The early reports out of camp aren’t just disappointing — they’re exactly what you’d expect from a player who hasn’t figured it out in two years. Pads aren’t even on yet, and while we’re all tired of overreacting to July reps, Schmitz already looks like he’s losing ground fast. It’s starting to feel less like nothing and more like confirmation.

Schmitz was already skating on thin ice after two underwhelming seasons.
