The Giants.com crew is presented with four statements and must decide whether they are Fact or Fiction.
OT Andrew Thomas was the most impressive offensive player at training camp.
John Schmeelk: Fact – I don't need to use a second hand to count the times Andrew Thomas was beaten in pass protection during nearly a month of training camp practices. He is steady as a pass blocker and provides a luxury that allows the Giants to just leave him on the blind side of the quarterback and not worry about it. They can use the tight ends and backs to help elsewhere while Thomas can neutralize the right edge of the defense. There's no reason to think he won't play at an All-Pro level in 2024.
Dan Salomone: Fact – It is easy to forget that he is only 25 years old. Thomas is part of a young Giants core that the front office hopes will only get better as they grow together.
Matt Citak: Fiction – Andrew Thomas has been stellar this summer, but honestly, that's what we've come to expect. He's one of the best tackles in the NFL, which is what we've seen since the start of training camp. That's why the most impressive offensive player this summer has to be Malik Nabers. While expectations were high for the sixth overall draft pick, you wanted to see him in person first. Well, he's already met those expectations and then some. Not only has he made numerous eye-opening grabs, but he's also portrayed a great mindset and sense of professionalism with the media. Nabers' performance will generate national buzz once the regular season kicks off.
DL Dexter Lawrence was the most impressive defensive player at training camp.
John Schmeelk: Fiction – Dexter is always dominant, but you don't get to see him go "full Dexter" until he is facing opponents in games. You saw his power and athleticism provide all sorts of issues against a very good Lions interior offensive line in joint practices, but you are still trying to stay healthy and keep opponents off the ground in those situations. Brian Burns, on the other hand, has been able to show off his entire repertoire of moves.
Dan Salomone: Fact – "Half Dexter" is still better than most "full" offensive linemen. Now established as one of the best in the league, Lawrence has a chance to move into rarefied air in the coming seasons.
Matt Citak: Fiction – I'm going with fiction on this one for the same reason I did on the last one. Lawrence has once again shown that he is going to be a big problem for opposing offensive lines this season as he's gotten into the backfield in just about every practice, including the joint sessions with the Lions and Jets. But as a back-to-back Pro Bowl selection, this has hardly been surprising. So, I'm going with Brian Burns. It's been very interesting to see Burns beat offensive tackles with such a variety of pass rush moves. Similar to Dexter, the team's new edge rusher has gotten into the backfield on such a consistent basis all summer. Offensive lines are going to struggle to stop the combination of Lawrence, Burns, and Thibodeaux this season.

The most impactful newcomer has been OLB Brian Burns.
John Schmeelk: Fiction – Bill Parcells would be mad at me for doing this, but I am going to pick wide receiver Malik Nabers. He has been the most dominant rookie I have seen in his first training camp since I started covering the team in 2007. He has been that good, and if he plays like a No. 1 wide receiver out of the gates, it will be hard to underestimate his overall impact on the Giants' offense. As Drew Lock put it to me in our summer conversation, Nabers is a player that you "pray other teams play one on one against." It gives an easy solution to a quarterback and a chance at an explosive play every time you target him. He will also allow the other receivers to slot into roles that maximize their skillsets.
Dan Salomone: Fact – The front office added another impressive name to the 26-or-under club when they made the trade for Brian Burns. He joined a list that now includes Andrew Thomas (25), Dexter Lawrence (26), Kayvon Thibodeaux (23), Deonte Banks (23), and Malik Nabers (21).
Matt Citak: Fact – See my answer above. Even going up against the Lions' elite offensive line during joint practices, including All-Pro tackle Penei Sewell and long-time NFL veteran Taylor Decker, Burns was able to find his way into the backfield often. We saw a glimpse of it in last weekend's preseason game in Houston. Burns used a strong spin move to get by the tackle and into the face of Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was forced to get rid of the ball quickly as Dexter Lawrence ended up swatting it down at the line of scrimmage on fourth down. Burns is undoubtedly going to have a significant impact on the Giants defense.
The biggest surprise of training camp has been DL Elijah Chatman.
John Schmeelk: Fiction – I am going to go with Greg Van Roten and the speed at which he has slid into a role on the offensive line. He was signed on July 31 and immediately began taking first-team snaps as the starting center while John Michael Schmitz recovered from a shoulder injury. He slid in seamlessly despite the fact he has played only 164 snaps at center (in 2019) in his NFL career. Since Schmitz returned, Van Roten has moved over to guard and has been one of the most consistent performers on the line next to Jermaine Eluemunor. He has played so well I would be surprised if he was not the starter at right guard in Week 1. Maybe I shouldn't be shocked by how easy this has looked since he played at a starting level for offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo in Las Vegas the last two years.
Dan Salomone: Fact – The tale of “Baby Bison” is what training camp is all about. Unknown a few months ago to most Giants fans, Chatman has put himself in position to make the 53-man roster, which must be finalized by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. While he waits, you know he will do everything he can on the field and in the meeting room.
Matt Citak: Fiction – Elijah Chatman has been a great story throughout training camp, but to me, the biggest surprise has been running back Tyrone Tracy. It's hard for a fifth-round pick to come into training camp as a rookie and make an impact, but that's exactly what Tracy has done. The 24-year-old has run strong and put his explosiveness on display. Also, how many players have you heard about getting an air cast put on them for an injury during practice, only to return to the practice field two days later? The first-year running back would have been my pick here even without the impressive recovery from his injured ankle, but his speedy comeback was the icing on the cake. Tracy looks primed to make an impact in both the run and pass game this season, which would be impressive for any young back, let alone a rookie fifth-round pick.
