It took one play for Giants rookie to start making serious noise at camp

There’s nothing worse than a quiet rookie. Especially when you’re a seventh-rounder buried in a crowded tight end room that’s already fighting for scraps behind Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger. But Thomas Fidone II didn’t come to East Rutherford to stay quiet.

New York Giants training camp is barely underway, and Fidone made the kind of play that deserves a second look. The kind that stops a rep mid-snap and leaves teammates yelling from the sideline. Not because it was some perfectly schemed-up play. This wasn’t even a full-speed rep with linemen or anything in front.
