In the 2022 NFL season, the New York Giants emerged as a surprise contender, defying expectations under new head coach Brian Daboll. They secured a playoff berth and even upset the Minnesota Vikings. Despite a postseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants showcased potential as an up-and-coming NFC team.
However, the following year, the 2023 season, brought disappointment. Failing to meet expectations, the Giants missed the playoffs, marking them as one of the league’s most underwhelming teams. Adding to their woes, star running back Saquon Barkley departed for the Eagles in the offseason, dealing a significant blow to the franchise’s morale.

Despite setbacks, the Giants are pushing forward. Their recent announcement on Twitter revealed the signing of veteran cornerback David Long Jr. While Long’s addition may not drastically alter the team’s prospects, it signifies their commitment to rebuilding. Long’s NFL journey has seen him move between multiple franchises, including the Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay Packers, and Carolina Panthers, after spending his initial four years with the Los Angeles Rams.
