Youtube: @NewYorkGiantsFootball1925 new york giants team of teams: Eva’s Village This week, we will be highlighting the work of our Paterson Globetrotters Team of Teams group. This group of players and coaches decided to focus their efforts on poverty and hunger, with an emphasis on criminal justice and addiction support services through their partnership with Eva’s Village. Since 1982, Eva’s Village, located in Paterson, N.J., has been a community pillar that provides care and support to individuals struggling with food and housing insecurity, underlying substance use, mental and physical health disorders, and lack of job readiness or access to employment. Over the last few months, this group of Giants players and coaches have committed time to educational Zoom meetings with Eva’s Village, learning more about the community that Eva’s serves and the areas where support is most needed, especially where those needs have been further magnified by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Together, the Giants and Eva’s Village developed a mentoring program, pairing each team member with one of Eva’s clients enrolled in outpatient program, working with those who receive treatment and support as they work to recover from substance use disorders. In addition, the group started a GoFundMe page with the goal of $10,000 to cover Eva’s costs of feeding the homeless for 4 days. The group will continue their 1-on-1 mentoring relationships throughout the season and will support Eva’s Village “Helping Hands for Hunger” Virtual Gala on December 8th. COACH OF THE WEEK: Rae Oliver GIANTS NAME EAST ORANGE OLIVER COACH OF THE WEEK The Giants Foundation and Gatorade to contribute $2,000 to football program The New York Giants and Gatorade have selected Mr. Rae Oliver of East Orange Campus High School (East Orange, NJ) as the Lou Rettino High School Coach of the Week for Week 8 of the 2020 season. Coach Rae Oliver is in his 4th season as Head Coach of the East Orange Jaguars and recently defeated previously unbeaten Clifton 36-0 in their final game at historic Paul Robeson Stadium. The Jaguars have a 5-2 record with four shutout performances. As head coach of East Orange, Oliver has made academics and character a priority of his team. The Jaguars regularly attend camps at Rutgers University and Monmouth University where they can get a glimpse of the college experience and improve their football skills. Playing to his team’s competitive spirit, he created a “college acceptance challenge” where his student-athletes try to gain as many college acceptance letters as they can. This challenge has not only changed the culture around academics for the Jaguars but has made college a reality for these players. Oli- ver believes that to make East Orange a model program, he needs the whole community’s support and involvement. Not only does he work with the high school community, he also strives to provide a supportive environment within the city’s youth football programs too. giants wr sterling shepard •Look to improve to 724-640-33 all-time (postseason included). •Aims for 5th consecutive game with at least 6 receptions. •Look to improve to 72-66-2 vs. the AFC North all-time. •Aims for 2nd consecutive game with a touchdown reception vs. •Look to improve to 213-184-16 all-time in the month of November.

    NYG Postgame (vs. Jets) Transcripts: Head Coach Joe Judge August 14, 2021 Opening Statement: Alright, guys. Well, look, obviously we didn't do enough tonight to win the game. The objective tonight mainly was to evaluate our players. There were a lot of things we saw out there tonight that were positive on an individual basis. Collectively, we have to be more consistent and better to have success. Told the players there were some good things out there, but we have to make sure that we improve our level of play, our football fundamentals and our execution on the field to have success. That being said, any questions you have, I’ll open it up. Q: (Wide Receiver Kadarius) Toney, we didn't see him out there at all for warmups or on the sideline. Any update on what’s going on? A: Any injured player who was not going to be able to play in the game tonight, we didn't put on the sideline. Everyone who was on the sideline would have been healthy enough to participate in the game. The only exception would be (Running Back) Saquon (Barkley) and if it's a captain, there's a different deal. Sometimes, we'll let them on the field. Q: You played your starting offensive line for most of the first quarter. What did you think of the way they played? A: Well, I think as a team, we started slow on both sides of the ball. I saw some improvement as we went on, we were able to move the ball a little bit, get down there in scoring position.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 4/23/20 2020 NFL DRAFT ROUND 1 NOTES For reports related to the 2020 NFL Draft, click here. OFFENSE RULES THE FIRST: The 2020 NFL Draft featured 18 offensive players selected in the first round, tied for the fourth-most in the common draft era, trailing only the 1968, 2004 and 2009 NFL Drafts (19). HEISMANS GO FIRST: The Cincinnati Bengals selected Heisman-winning quarterback JOE BURROW with the first-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Along with the first-overall selections of KYLER MURRAY (Arizona, 2019) and BAKER MAYFIELD (Cleveland, 2018), it marks the first time in the common draft era that a Heisman winner was chosen with the No. 1 pick in three consecutive NFL Drafts. With his selection at No. 1, Burrow joins CAM NEWTON (Carolina, 2011) as the only quarterbacks to win the Heisman Trophy, National Championship and be selected with the first-overall pick in the same calendar year in the common draft era. BUCKEYES AT THE TOP: Washington selected Ohio State defensive end CHASE YOUNG with the second-overall pick while Detroit picked Ohio State defensive back JEFF OKUDAH third-overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. Along with the selections of DENZEL WARD (Cleveland, No. 4 overall in 2018) and NICK BOSA (San Francisco, No. 2 in 2019), Ohio State becomes the first school to have a defensive player selected in the top-five in three consecutive Drafts in the common draft era.

  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.
