Dozens of Giants, including the 2014 draft picks, met the media this week at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. Giants.com grabbed the top five quotes from the busy week.
"It's been pretty surreal actually. Going to the Manning camps and throwing with him and back in high school I think it was my sophomore or junior year, he came back to school and he was throwing. The coach always tells me about him and Peyton were deciding who gets to throw with me. We had other receivers out there but they were young. One day, thinking that maybe I'll get to play with one of the Mannings, and now here I am, it's pretty surreal." -- First-round draft choice WR Odell Beckham Jr. on playing with Eli Manning (Note: the Manning brothers and Beckham attended Isidore Newman School in New Orleans.)
"Every day I come out here and practice and it becomes more and more real. The guys in front of me, I want to learn from them and get better. I just want to add to what the D-line is in New York City as far as the New York Giants and that's a lot of pressure." -- Third-round draft choice DT Jay Bromley on playing for his hometown team
"I'm not going to lie, the first week everybody was kind of swimming. But I think we've caught up and I think this is great what we're doing, instead of doing minicamp and doing this has been extremely helpful to everybody." -- Fifth-round draft choice S Nat Berhe on learning the defense
"Just his toughness and his humbleness and just how he let his actions on the field speak the most. I always like to look at the guys who were great before and look at what they did and, you know, mold yourself after that. You can't go wrong with following somebody who has already done it before. That's kind of my thing, to look back and try to envision myself doing the same type of thing." -- Undrafted rookie TE Xavier Grimble on what he thinks of wearing the same number as Mark Bavaro, a member of the Giants Ring of Honor
"There are some similarities and some differences than in the past. We've got some aspects of it that are kind of fun because the philosophy is to attack. That's kind of what makes us kind of enjoy it now and grasp it." -- QB Ryan Nassib on the new offensive system
