New York Giants NewsGiants’ 90-man roster: DL Alex Jenkins trying to prove he belongsNew Christopher Slayton Jersey Boys ,9commentsJenkins spent two years with Saints as part of International programEDTNFL teams will go to great lengths to find pass rushers. Even taking a chance on former soccer players from Bath, England who didn’t really begin learning the game until age 18. Which brings us to the story of New York Giants defensive lineman Alex Jenkins.Let’s delve into that story as we continue profiling the 90 players the Giants will bring to training camp this summer.The basicsHeight: 6-foot-4Weight: 258Age: 26Experience: 2Position: Defensive lineHow he got hereJenkins, per the video above, played a little bit of community football in England, but didn’t really turn to the game until being cut when trying out for what he called a “high level” soccer team in England.The video above details much of the story, but Jenkins moved to American and ended up at Incarnate Word, a brand new Division I program in San Antonio Youth Eli Manning Jerseys , Tx. where he really began to learn the game and play it seriously.In 2017, Jenkins landed on the practice squad of the New Orleans Saints as part of the NFL’s International Players Pathway program. That programs gives teams an exemption to add international player to their practice squad. Jenkins spent two season on the Saints practice squad, with the Saints getting an exemption for the second year.After the Saints let him go, he earned a contract with the Giants by impressing during a rookie mini-camp tryout.2019 outlookThis one is hard to figure. Back in 2017, Saints’ defensive coordinator Dennis Allen said Jenkins has “got a little pass rush.”Does, he, however Eli Manning Jerseys Stitched , have any place on the Giants’ roster? At 258 pounds, he seems too light to be a 3-4 defensive end. There doesn’t appear to be a place for him as an edge player, though there isn’t a lot of depth at that spot behind Markus Golden, Lorenzo Carter, Kareem Martin and Oshane Ximines.A check with the league office revealed that Jenkins does still have practice squad eligibility, so that remains a possibility.Giants-Lions in pictures: Best photos from Giants’ 30-17 victory Week 1’s preseason loss brought a lot of concern for Giants fans for the upcoming season. That would not hamper the Giants from showing up and showing out in Detroit in Week 2 with a 30-17 victory. A lot of positive takeaways come from the game, but here we’ll let the pictures do the talking. Davis Webb does something goodTim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsDespite an an abysmal game against the Cleveland Browns Youth Odell Beckham Jerseys , Davis Webb managed to string together a strong second drive against the Lions first-team defense. Webb finished 14-of-20 for 140 yards and a touchdown pass.Too easyPhoto by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesWebb’s touchdown pass was into the sure hands of second year running back Wayne Gallman. Sneaking his way out of the backfield uncovered, Gallman scored the first of his two touchdowns on the night. With Jonathan Stewart struggling, Gallman’s do-it-all ability might be enough to secure the second spot on the depth chart behind Saquon Barkley.Nowhere to runPhoto by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesThe Giants defense came to play right off the bat in the first half. In two quarters, the Giants shut down the Lions for only 89 total yards of offense. Most notably they would limit Detroit to only 24 yards on the ground in that span.Leaping LaulettaTim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsKyle Lauletta did not allow Webb’s strong first half to outshine his play-making ability. With a little shake-and-bake, Lauletta scampered for a 10-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter. He would finish the game 2-for-5 and 27 passing yards. Reaching for the starsPhoto by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesAlthough we only saw Evan Engram in limited playing time, he still made some stellar plays. Totaling two catches, Engram stretched as far as he could to get a first down on a scoring drive in the first quarter. Sharp shooter Raj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsEven after clobbering long snapper Zak DeOssie Odell Beckham Jerseys Stitched , the Lions were not able to stop Aldrick Rosas from drilling his only field goal attempt on the night, a 55-yarder.Air RaymondTim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsWide receiver Kalif Raymond got UP to make a strong grab in the second quarter. Even though it would be his only reception, he was one of 15 Giant pass catchers with a reception during the game. All smilesTim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsSadly, we did not get to see Odell Beckham Jr. this week, but that didn’t the cameras away from him. After seeing New York’s two young quarterbacks put on a show, Beckham probably was not the only one smiling. Down lowRaj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsDefense was the name of the game in Detroit after holding the Lions to only 17 points. The Giants defensive unit also only allowed 67 rushing yards on the night. Giants win!Tim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsMany offensive woes held down the G-Men from their true potential in Week 1. This week, they were explosive behind the arm of Webb and the legs of Gallman. However Color Rush Ryan Connelly Jersey , will this success carry over into next week’s matchup against the hometown rival New York Jets?
