New York Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4
Here are some takeaways from Sunday's workout.
Wilson is opening up the offense
The Giants have been one of the NFL's least potent offenses the past two seasons. They signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, the NFL's most proficient deep thrower last year, to get their passing game back on track.
It looks as if he's doing that after just one week. Wilson is going up top to all of his receivers these days, and his "moonball" has never looked better.
"He looks 25 again"
Not to make this all about Wilson, but he appears to be just what this sagging Giants offense needs. Not only is he reenergizing the passing game, but the 36-year-old is making plays with his legs, too.
Holland the pirate
Wilson didn't have his way with the Giants' secondary all day. They got their shots in as well.
On this play, slot corner Dru Phillips deflects a Wilson pass into the hands of safety Jevon Holland, who returns it for a touchdown. The Giants' goal on defense this year is to focus on ball-hawking. So far, so good.
Skattebo is gaining in popularity
Looking for a player to root for this season? Look no further than rookie running back Cam Skattebo. He is a high-energy player who is already making his mark with the Giants as both a rusher and a receiver.
The fans in attendance at camp are already taking to him.
Abdul Carter is a menace
The first full padded practice isn't until Monday, so we won't know exactly how good rookie linebacker Abdul Carter is. So far, he's been blowing by everyone. If he continues to do that when the hitting starts, the Giants have a monster in their midst.
Dart's best day yet
The Giants' other first-round pick, quarterback Jaxson Dart, is also heating up.
On Sunday, he looked comfortable and in charge, hitting on several deep throws.

Should the Boston Celtics target Domantas Sabonis via trade?
The 2025 NBA offseason has seen the Boston Celtics endure a considerable talent drain at multiple positions. The loss of Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet and potentially Al Horford has left the franchise dangerously short of talent and depth across the front court. Luka Garza is the only notable front-court addition this summer. Losing Jrue Holiday also hurt, but at least Boston has the guard depth to help fill some of the void. Recently, a trade proposal that saw Boston send out Anfernee Simons, Sam Hauser, Georges Niang, Neemias Queta and two future first-round picks for Domantas Sabonis went viral. The fan base was split on whether that deal would be good business for the Celtics or whether that would be an overpay by the franchise. During a recent episode of the "Hold My Banner" podcast, hosts Adam Pellerin and Ountae Campbell discussed the trade proposal and whether they would make that trade if they were running the Celtics organization. The duo also shared some of the online fan reactions to the proposed deal, showing how split opinion was on the potential to add Sabonis to a core of Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and, upon his return, Jayson Tatum. You can watch the full discussion between Pellerin and Campbell by clicking on the embedded video above.
