That thought comes to mind because two players in the team’s rookie mini-camp have suffered knee injuries that could require surgery and will likely end their seasons.Safety Jacob Thieneman (Purdue) and outside linebacker Nate Harvey (East Carolina) suffered non-contact injuries. Both were players who had been signed to undrafted free agent contracts.Mini-camp will conclude with a practice on Sunday. Media does not have access to that workout.Julian Love being used all overWhen the Giants drafted the former Notre Dame cornerback, GM Dave Gettleman mentioned that Love could eventually be a candidate to play free safety. During the mini-camp, Love had played outside cornerback, slot cornerback and free safety.“I moved around quite a bit yesterday,” Love said today between practices at the Giants’ rookie minicamp. “Wherever they need me, I will play. Working on some nickel Phil McConkey Jerseys Stitched , a little safety and a little corner. Just trying to be able to do it all at this point.”Love is thrilled to be a Giant.“I thought about that through this whole process,” Love said. “When I got the call and the Giants were on the clock, every emotion in my heart, it was full. It is a very similar program and a very passionate fan base. It is an internationally known brand. This past year in ND it felt like a tour we were on. We traveled so much. That is the same with the Giants, and that is what we want to get back to.”Baker makes a playDeAndre Baker created the first interception thrown by Daniel Jones during a practice. During 11-on-11 drills Saturday, Jones lofted a ball deep down the right sideline for undrafted free agent wide receiver Reggie White Jr. Baker, drafted 30th overall, leaped and knocked the ball away. It landed in the arms of tryout cornerback McKinley Whitfield, who attended Tulsa.In case you’re wondering (and I know you are) this was about the play Baker made. This was not a bad throw. It was a really good defensive play by the guy the Giants traded up to select because they thought he was the best cover cornerback in the draft.BBV MailbagHave questions about the Giants?

(AP) — Coming off his best game running the ball, Saquon Barkley unveiled a few goals for the final three weeks of the regular season for the New York Giants.Of course Youth Mark Bavaro Jerseys , winning is No. 1. Leading the NFL in rushing either this year or down the road is high on his wish list, and so is greatness.The last one might be the most surprising. There is little doubt Barkley is on the verge of greatness after 13 games, but the fact the humble 21-year-old mentioned it might raise some eyebrows.Barkley rushed for 170 yards on 14 carries on Sunday as the Giants (5-8) posted their most impressive win in years with a 40-16 thrashing of the Washington Redskins. The effort was highlighted by a 78-yard touchdown run and it gave him the second pick overall in the draft 1,124 yards rushing, third in the league behind Ezekiel Elliott of Dallas (1,262) and Todd Gurley (1,203) of the Rams.“Getting 1,000 yards in the NFL is an amazing accomplishment and being the first rookie ever for the Giants to do that is even a bigger one” Barkley said Monday. “It’s big because even though my name might go in the record book, it’s not just myself — it’s the offensive line play and the guys in the running back room, all those guys have been a tremendous help.”Barkley, who says he learned his current standing in rushing leaders from social media, has moved up the list with four straight games of at least 100 yards on the ground.“It’s an honor to be up there Mark Bavaro Jerseys Stitched , but at the end of the day, that doesn’t really matter,” said Barkley, who has four touchdown runs of 50 yards or more. “It only matters how many wins you get and we’ve got to figure out how to continue to get those wins.”After going 1-7, the Giants have won four of five since their bye week. The only game they lost was to the Eagles after blowing a 16-point first-half lead. New York has an outside chance to make the playoffs as a wild card.Barkley, who also leads the Giants with 78 catches, will chase that and his other goals.“I want to be great. I want to go down as one of the best, and that’s not just going to happen in one day,” Barkley said. “You have to work for it, obviously with the help of your teammates, but if I don’t get it this year, I’m going to get it at some point. I promise you.”Giants rookie cornerback Grant Haley smiled when asked if he was surprised by what his former Penn State teammate is doing as a pro.“I think it is kind of funny Color Rush Darius Slayton Jersey , everyone’s reactions on the sideline when he makes runs,” Haley said. “I’m just sitting there, and I mean it’s still impressive, but I’ve seen that before. He just so special.”The Giants, who struggled to score early in the season, have averaged 31.4 points in the past five games.Receiver Sterling Shepard, who had big blocks on Barkley’s two longest runs, said the running game is going to open up the passing game for Eli Manning.“I just know that you give him a couple of touches, he’s going to make something big happen out of those couple of touches, so he’s a player that’s special,” Shepard said. “You got to give him the ball and he can make magic happen.”NOTES: Shepard, who had two catches for 17 yards and a touchdown Youth Darius Slayton Jersey , picked up a game ball for his blocking. …WR Odell Beckham Jr., who missed Sunday’s game with a quadriceps injury, is feeling better, coach Pat Shurmur said. … TE Rhett Ellison, who sprained an ankle, also is feeling better.
