The Jets are all the talk around the NFL, with Aaron Rodgers and company reporting to training camp with cameras rolling for HBO’s Hard Knocks show.
But what about the other team in New York? Gio says the Giants are being overlooked, and will once again be a pleasant surprise this season.
“I think that’s a mistake,” Gio said of those overlooking Big Blue. “I really do. I was someone who was down on the Giants for years and years, and was dead wrong about them last year…it’s not a fluke.
“The Giants last year, that was not a fluke to me. They ran into an Eagles team that was much better than them and went to the Super Bowl last year…but this was a team that played really good defense, had a quarterback who took a huge step forward, and only has gotten better now. The offense has only gotten better. Daniel Jones played the best game of his life in that playoff win.”
Gio isn’t sure why a playoff team from last season would be overlooked after seemingly improving over the offseason, but he believes anyone dismissing another strong season for the Giants is making a mistake.
“Is it because of Daniel Jones’ personality?” Gio said. “Is it because we’ve all been focused on the Saquon Barkley contract? Is it because the Giants don’t have a ton of stars on the team? What is it that people aren’t believing in the Giants?”
