WEEHAWKEN, N.J. -- Summer break isn’t for everybody.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Davis Webb and tight end Evan Engram have bypassed the beach for the gym and field. They've remained in New Jersey during the six-week break between minicamp and training camp, trying to get acclimated to an NFL offense and playbook.

Here's what Webb's routine has been:

Wake up and head to the team’s facility to lift weights six or seven days a week. Webb says he’s always been a gym buff, so it’s not out of character.

Head to the field at Weehawken High School, right outside the Lincoln Tunnel, in the early afternoon with fellow rookie Engram, the team's first-round pick, four or five days a week. The two have become fast friends and do pretty much everything together.

Study the Giants’ offense, playbook and verbiage. Since rules prohibit Webb from watching film with coaches in the building, he studies his notes from OTAs and minicamp. Webb said he has five full legal pads of notes to digest. He studies those for anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours a day.

“It just depends on what else I have going on,” Webb said after a recent throwing session with Engram in the 90-plus-degree heat. “Every day for three weeks straight.”

Webb's first NFL training camp begins July 27 when he reports with the rest of the Giants.

The third-round pick is intent on trying to be able to visualize the plays moments after they come in on the headset. This is especially difficult considering that the West Coast offense is significantly different from the Air Raid attacks he learned at Texas Tech and California. The Giants’ West Coast offense is much more complex.

To help familiarize himself with the calls, Webb has invited some of his fellow rookies, including sixth-round pick Adam Bisnowaty and fourth-round pick Wayne Gallman, to his apartment to read him plays. Webb turns his back to them and tries to visualize it.

“I’m trying to react better, but that’s reps,” Webb said. “It will come with time. Training camp will be another big step for me. I’m excited to get back with the team and hang out with Eli [Manning], Josh [Johnson] and Geno [Smith] each day and learn from them.”

Webb and Engram, both 22, are serious about perfecting their crafts. Their on-field workouts aren’t just slapped together. Webb comes to the field with a script, and not just any script. He took pictures of the schedule for Giants practices in the spring and replicates them with Engram on the field.

“It’s really just a standard,” Engram said. “At this level, we worked so hard to get to this level, it’s going to require more work to excel at it. So this is what is expected. We come out here and get some work, work on some things we’re going to be going through at camp, that is really going to be crucial to our success.”

Engram and Webb met as teammates at the Senior Bowl and remained in touch during the draft. They’ve been almost inseparable this spring and summer, developing chemistry and camaraderie.

“We’re just relatable people,” Webb said. “We’re similar. We’re both driven, competitive, hardworking guys. He wants to be a perfectionist, as do I, which is impossible, but it’s what we strive for. He’ll drop some balls and I’ll throw bad passes, but we’ll be the first to say, ‘Let’s do that again. Let’s do that right.’

“We hold each other accountable. We’ve been eating dinner just about every night. So we’ve hung out, and it has been a good month for us. We’ve gotten to know each other. It has been a lot of fun being around him.”

They should be together for a while, and could be a lethal combo in the future. In the meantime, Webb will sit and wait his turn. Manning is the Giants’ starting quarterback, and the original plan was for Johnson and Smith to battle for the backup job. Webb will likely be the third-stringer.

Engram is expected to play a significant role, maybe even as a starter.

Webb's training camp and preseason will be key for his growth. It will be his first opportunity to play in game situations, and perhaps his only opportunity this year. He’s preparing to compete and prove that the Giants made the right selection in the third round.

“Just take another step. It’s a 6-inch step or 6-yard step,” he said. “Just keep getting better. It’s a process league, and I understand that. It’s hard. It’s a big playbook and you’re young and you come from a system; it’s just different. It’s all hand signals, it’s full speed, it’s tempo.”

And Webb wants to nail it all, beginning, well, yesterday.

“I want to get this right. I want everything to be perfect,” he said. “I want to complete every ball. It’s impossible, but that is what I want to do. And that is why I work hard at it.”

Even in the summer.
