The New York Giants concluded their second and final rookie minicamp practice on Saturday, taking advantage of the beautiful weather to hold the session outdoors. Head coach Brian Daboll provided some key updates before the practice, and here are five things we learned from the session.

Firstly, the Giants signed veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson earlier in the week, and Coach Daboll expressed his excitement at having him on the team. Robinson's contract details were disclosed on Saturday, confirming a one-year deal worth $1.3 million, with $25,000 guaranteed. The contract is designed so that the cap hit will be $1.1 million. Robinson also received a $25,000 signing bonus and stands to earn an additional $75,000 bonus if he is active for any game this season.

In other news, cornerback Aaron Robinson, a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, is still in the process of recovering from a torn ACL and MCL suffered in October 2022. Despite being part of the offseason workout program, he remains with the rehab group for now.

The Giants' confidence in their rookie third-round pick, Cor'Dale Flott, was evident during the minicamp. Coach Daboll expressed his faith in Flott's ability to man the outside role, potentially starting alongside Deonte Banks. While acknowledging that there will be competition, Daboll's strong statement about Flott's potential impact adds an intriguing dynamic to the team.

On the injury front, right tackle Evan Neal, who ended last season on injured reserve due to a fractured ankle, is making progress during his ongoing recovery. Coach Daboll mentioned that Neal has been participating in some activities during OTAs, indicating positive strides forward.

Lastly, tight end Theo Johnson, selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, caught attention due to his impressive physical stature. Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 259 pounds, Johnson stands out as the largest offensive player on the Giants' roster, excluding the offensive linemen. His size and potential make him an intriguing addition to the team.

Overall, the Giants' rookie minicamp offered promising insights into the team's future. With key signings, ongoing recoveries, and impressive rookies, the Giants seem poised to make their mark in the upcoming season. Fans can eagerly await further developments as the team progresses through OTAs and prepares for the regular season.
