NY Giants Spring Takeaways: QBs, O-line, Defense, and More

In today’s episode, host Patricia Traina and guest Brandon Olsen break down everything we learned from the Giants’ spring workouts, OTAs, and minicamp. With a refreshed quarterback room led by Russell Wilson, some promising depth at key positions, and noticeable tweaks to both offense and defense, there’s real hope that the Giants could be turning the page from last year’s struggles.  

We’ll dive into the biggest storylines coming out of spring: the offensive line, Evan Neal’s position switch, the young wide receivers, Jaxson Dart’s progress, and why the new-look defense has everyone buzzing.  

Plus, we’ll talk about what it’ll take for the Giants to get off to a fast start—something they haven’t managed in recent years—and which position battles to keep an eye on as we head toward training camp.
