The Giants rookies arrive at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center on Thursday. If they can find it.

That's part of the purpose of rookie minicamp. It's to get the recent draft picks and undrafted free agents acclimated to life in the NFL and with the Giants.



"Yeah, the rookie minicamp is more of an orientation. We want to bring them in, introduce them to the first install with normal down and distance install, teach them how we're going to practice, let them know where the restrooms are, and just get their feet wet a little bit," coach Ben McAdoo said. "We're not going to be out there for three hours practicing, we're just going to introduce them to things. It's more of an orientation than anything...to see the building for the first time so when they get a chance to come in here with the vets and mix it up with the older guys, there's not much young bull going on and they at least know where they're going."

The Giants' draft class, undrafted free agents and anyone else who impresses during tryouts at rookie minicamp on Friday and Saturday will intermingle with the veterans on Monday. It will be first-round pick Eli Apple and the rest of the new Giants' first real interaction with the established roster.

But before that, it's rookie minicamp time. See in the video above the three things I'll be watching closely.
