EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ereck Flowers, the Giants’ 2015 first-round draft pick, arrived for his first news conference with New York-area reporters Saturday morning and stepped onto an auditorium stage.

Watching intently from the back row of the room was Flowers’s father, Everald. He was flanked by two of his son’s uncles.

That was the extent of the Flowers entourage. There was no agent because Flowers has chosen to go without one. His only official adviser is his father, who raised him as a single parent after Flowers’s mother died when he was 6 years old.

Flowers, a 6-foot-6, 329-pound tackle from Miami, also plans to negotiate his own contract with the Giants.
