NFL legend and University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has finally weighed in on all those Shedeur Sanders pre-draft reports. Suffice to say, he wasn’t happy.

The Russell Wilson era has officially begun, as the Giants took the field for organized team activities (OTAs) for the first time in front of reporters Wednesday. The 36-year-old veteran showed exactly why coach Brian Daboll already named him the Week 1 starter.

He went 1-of-4 passing in 7 on 7s and 5-of-7 in 11 on 11s.

There’s no shortage of juicy Giants storylines to follow as they open the organized team activity (OTAs) portion of their offseason program. Flashy new edge rusher Abdul Carter will try to establish himself in a defense that already features Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns. Free agent signees Jevon Holland and Paulson Adebo will try to turn the secondary around. On offense, there’s an intriguing right guard battle — which could end with draft bust Evan Neal earning a starting job again.

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had a record-breaking rookie season. The 21-year-old rookie quickly became a household name, setting the all-time rookie receptions record with 109 and becoming the lone bright spot in a dismal Giants season. This is especially worthy of praise considering the terrible trio of quarterbacks who were throwing to him (Daniel Jones, Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito). But does it make him an elite wide receiver already?
