5 players to watch vs. Steelers
Giants.com highlights five players to keep an eye on as the Giants play the Steelers

WR Marcus HarrisNicknamed "Soup" by former high school teammate and current Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, Harris is coming off a strong showing in the Hall of Fame Game against Buffalo. He parlayed that into a productive week at training camp and spent some time running with the first team, which he said he dreamt about every day last year when he was on the practice squad as an undrafted rookie out of Murray State. Fellow wide receiver Victor Cruz can relate. "I was in their shoes, I know what it feels like, I know exactly the things that he's going through in his mind, and how it plays out," said Cruz, who went undrafted out of the University of Massachusetts in 2010 and originally made the roster with an impressive preseason. "So those guys talk to me all the time and things like that. I always pull for those guys and I'm happy he's doing well. He had a pretty good game this weekend."

LB Jacquian WilliamsEntering his fourth training camp, a healthy Williams is looking to become a consistent starter in 2014, which defensive coordinator Perry Fewell thinks he can be. Fewell commented this week on Williams' progress since the Giants drafted him in 2011, pointing out his confidence in his run fits, coverage ability, and his overall knowledge of assignments. "I think Jacquian Williams has made great strides since his rookie year," Fewell said. "And he's performed like he's a three-down player thus far in this camp."

TE Adrien RobinsonHead coach Tom Coughlin said the tight ends will be rotated through again in the second preseason game, which means Robinson could see some reps with the first team. Robinson made a smooth touchdown grab in Thursday's practice, which his coaches had to like. "He gets in there once in a while with the ones," Coughlin said. "He was in there the other night with them. When two tight ends are on the field together, he was in there."

CB Prince AmukamaraWith a lockdown corner like Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie now opposite him, Amukamara will be tested this season. Buffalo made that clear in the first preseason game as the ball was often thrown in Amukamara's direction. But the fourth-year pro responded well and might make teams re-think that strategy. "Prince has improved so much," Fewell said. "I chuckle because they went after him pretty good against Buffalo and I thought he responded well. I do think that with each opportunity that we have to throw the football at Prince, he will get better and better."

Safety Nat BerheThis week at training camp was all about the nicknames. We learned about "Soup" Harris, as mentioned above, as well as cornerback Walter Thurmond III being called "The Quiet Assassin," as pointed out by Fewell. And then there's Berhe, the rookie safety known as "The Missile." Along with Cooper Taylor, Berhe was a player that stuck out to safeties coach David Merritt in the Giants' win over the Bills. "Berhe, right now, his learning curve is right where it needs to be as a rookie," Merritt said. "There are a couple things such as down and distance that he can help us with."
