Five tasks Giants would like to accomplish at their OTAs
NY Post
The Giants this week opened up Phase 3 of their offseason workout program with the start of OTAs. Coaches can have the players on the field for daily 2-hour, non-contact practices. And, lest we forget, it all is strictly voluntary.
The only mandatory offseason work is the June 8-10 minicamp. Teams are allowed a maximum of 10 OTAs, and this will resemble actual football far more closely than the recently completed rookie minicamp, which featured individual drills with just 22 participants. The Giants will be able to engage in seven-on-seven and 11-on-11 drills, and use offensive and defensive lines, something they did not do at the rookie camp.
Merrill Kelly, considered one of the top starting pitchers in what is a relatively weak market for them this offseason, is headed back to where he’s spent most of his major league career.
