Alex Tanney, Kyle Lauletta Duke It Out For No. 3 Job

New York Giants quarterback Alex Tanney appears to be on track for the No. 3 job after a strong spring.

New York Giants running back Paul Perkins, not Wayne Gallman, was the first running back up during spring practices when Saquon Barkley was on the sidelines.

Daniel Jones Impressive In First Round Of Practices

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was impressive during spring practices, and head coach Pat Shurmur said the rookie out of Duke is "on track to play Day 1."

Sterling Shepard Impresses In Spring Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard was considered far and away the most dominant receiver on the field during spring practices, according to beat writer Matt Lombardo.

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman is penciled in as the No. 2 back behind starter Saquon Barkley, but he reportedly struggled during spring practice.

Paul Perkins Getting Second-Team Reps

The New York Giants know who their starting running back is because Saquon Barkley is on the team's roster, but there appears to be a surprise candidate for the number-two job appearing during offseason workouts as Paul Perkins has been getting second-team reps.

Adams was fine as a rusher, but […]
