Giants’ Joe Judge excited about ‘normal’ rookie minicamp
NY Post
Joe Judge was talking about the return of preseason games, after a one-year, pandemic-triggered hiatus, when he got to the heart of the matter, in terms of moving closer to a return to the way it is supposed to be during the team-building period of the offseason.
“These are valuable experiences that we have to really, really understand and value based on what we missed last year as a league,’’ Judge said. “I’m looking forward to getting the guys going and having a quote-unquote normal preseason this year. That’s something we’re definitely looking forward to.” One more step toward normalcy takes place this weekend, when Judge oversees a three-day rookie minicamp, live and in person, at the Giants’ practice and training facility.
