Day 1 of the New York Giants rookie minicamp was an overall success.
Rookies who were drafted, signed as undrafted free agents, or simply invited to the minicamp got to hear from Michael Strahan and work with the Giants' coaching staff to understand the differences between the NFL and collegiate games. Of the Giants' seven draft picks, four were selected to speak with the media after practice on Friday.
Defensive tackle Darius Alexander, selected with the first pick in the third round, played college football at Toledo. While there, he played for four different defensive line coaches and improved each year under a new coach.
