Leader: New Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. took the team’s entire WR group out to the 4 Charles Prime Rib steakhouse in New York City.
OBJ has brought immediate leadership to the room.
A true role model on and off the field 👏
Outstanding New York Giants wide receiver overview by @BrandonLondonTV . In addition, he correctly highlights that TE Isaiah Likely is the #2 option on this team.

According to @art_stapleton :
"Change in plans: Giants not back on field until mandatory minicamp begins Monday. Instead of practicing today for what would've been OTA 10, John Harbaugh and staff decided to take team to NYC for community bonding event, including visit to 9/11 Memorial & Museum, per sources."
WR JuJu Smith Schuster’s contract details with the Giants, per source: 1 year, $1.3M with no guaranteed money. It's a VSB contract so the cap hit is $1.08M.
Same terms as Odell and Braxton Berrios. Three vets getting nothing more than an opportunity.
Some things to take from the Giants OTAs:
-- WR position is jumbled mess. Lots of bodies, mass competition. Odell Beckham Jr. was on the field for the second play of live drills after signing Monday.
-- TE Isaiah Likely caught a lot of balls. Partly b/c of no Theo Johnson. Still he could be Giants leading receiver this year.
-- Defense dominated Wednesday. Abdul Carter's first step is impressive.
-- Dominic Zvada has to be heavy favorite to be the kicker. Ben Sauls went 6-of-12 on FGs and didn't look very good doing it.
-- Punt return options post-Gunner: Braxton Berrios, Calvin Austin III, Xavier Gibson, Deonte Banks
Offensive line depth chart today:
• First team: LT Andrew Thomas/Marcus Mbow, LG Jon Runyan, C John Michael Schmitz, RG Francis Mauigoa, RT Jermaine Eluemunor.
• Second team: LT Marcus Mbow/JC Davis, LG Daniel Faalele, C Bryan Hudson, RG Aaron Stinnie, RT Ryan Schernecke.
• Third team: LT JC Davis, LG Jake Kubas, C Bryan Hudson, RG Evan Neal, RT Ryan Schernecke.
No team reps for Lucas Patrick or Josh Ezeudu (again). Patrick snapped during 7-on-7, so clearly nothing major.
The depth chart has been static throughout the open practices. It's been Thomas/Mbow and the same starters at the other four spots.
Andrew Thomas split reps with Marcus Mbow at left tackle in live periods today. That's the first team we've seen Thomas in 11-on-11 action this spring. Good sign as they continue to ramp up Thomas.
The Giants' defense was dominant today. Pass rush, including Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dennard Wilson secondary blitzes, Arvell Reese and Jevon Holland and others making plays. They overwhelmed the offense.
JuJu Smith-Schuster had a solid day, though. He looks good
