Well the Giants rookies, undrafted rookie tryouts, and various veteran vagabounds rapped up the "rookie" mini camp. Keep in mind that this is only a rookie camp & the competition is not what it will be come September, there were several bright spots.
Both rookie WRs looked good. Hakeem Nicks was very sharp & Ramses Barden seemed to get better each practice. Barden still needs to do a better job getting an initial burst.
Rhett Bomar looked impressive & will give Andre Woodson a competition for the 3rd QB spot. Neither may play this year as David Carr is Eli Manning's back-up. But it is important to groom one as who knows how long Carr will be here.
One of the surprises is undrafted DE Maurice Evans. He really has a motor & was in the backfield on every play. If he keeps it up, he may end up taking Dave Tollefson's place on the 53 man roster. Evans was a productive player as a sophomore, but got into trouble before his junior year & was benched. He decided to enter the draft anyway.
Another undrafted rookie to keep an eye on is safety Sha'reff Rashad to grab the last (4th) safety spot.
Coming soon, roster battles, more player news, e-mails from around the web
