The New York Giants will begin practice on Wednesday in preparation for the start of the 2024 season. It will be an exciting time for this fanbase. A lot of people will want to find out what the upside for this team this season will be. General manager Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll, and many others within the organization are ready to get the ball rolling.
Will New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones be ready to perform this season? All eyes will be on him and the offensive line to be better this season. Jones had his season end in Week 9 last season because of a Torn ACL. The offensive line was an absolute train wreck last season and 2024 is a new season.
It feels like a decade ago that the New York Giants have gotten the offensive line position right. New York better hope they got it right this time around. The defense will also be a work in progress for the Giants this season. Wink Martindale is no longer the defensive coordinator and Shane Bowen is the new defensive coordinator.
Pro Football Focus Thinks That the One Player On the New York Giants To Watch For During NFL Training Camp This Season Is Jermaine Eluemunor
Pro Football Focus writer Bradley Locker thinks that there is an NFL player on each team to watch out for during NFL training camp. The one player he thinks that the New York Giants should watch out for this camp is offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor.
Locker said:
“Whether via players needing to perform, such as quarterback Daniel Jones and offensive tackle Evan Neal, or welcoming new stars, such as Brian Burns and Malik Nabers, there is almost assuredly somebody worth covering at Giants camp. Perhaps the most underappreciated is Eluemunor.
The 29-year-old put together a solid past two seasons with the Raiders, particularly as a run-blocker. But the Giants will ask Eluemunor to do something he hasn’t done much of at the NFL level: play left guard, where he has only 11 career snaps. That transition, especially as a predominant right tackle, might not be the most straightforward.
After the Giants finished dead last in pass-blocking grade last year, head coach Brian Daboll will be entrusting Eluemunor to step in, learn a new position and swiftly protect Jones much better than the team did in 2023.”
For now, he will be the starting left guard for the New York Giants. If things change with Evan Neal for the worse, Jermaine Eluemunor will move to right tackle.
New York can very well bring Greg Van Roten on the roster. Eluemunor played with the Las Vegas Raiders last season and is familiar with offensive line coach Camren Bricillo.
