The New York Giants officially announced the hire of Michael Ghobrial as their next special teams coordinator on Thursday.

Here are five things fans should know about Ghobrial.
Giants Wire constructs a full 53-man roster (and partial coaching staff) made entirely of active, former members of the New York Giants.
The NFL is a league of significant turnover. Every offseason, team rosters are churned and free agency leads to the recycling of personnel.
Earlier this week, we took a look at the production from all ex-New York Giants players currently in the league. That led us to think: Could we make a 53-man roster entirely out of former Giants?
Well, as it turns out, we could.
Here are the ground rules we set for this exercise:
This is what we came up with…
With the regular season in the rearview mirror, here’s a look at how each former member of the New York Giants fared in 2023.
The 2023 regular season has come to a close and now the final four teams are headed into Conference Championship Weekend. In the blink of an eye, the league will be preparing for Super Bowl Sunday.
Several former members of the New York Giants are still coaching and playing, and The Big Game will feature at least a handful of those.
How did those former Giants fare this season? And what about the rest of them?
Given the rate of personnel turnover around the NFL, nearly every roster has a little Big Blue flavor to it. So we’re here to look back on the 2023 season and see how those former Giants produced.
Let’s take a look.
18 former New York Giants coaches and players will participate in the AFC and NFC Championship Games this weekend.
Following a wild weekend of football, the 2023 AFC Championship Game and 2023 NFC Championship Game are officially set.
The Baltimore Ravens will play host to the Kanas City Chiefs on the AFC side of things. That game will have a distinct New York Giants flavor at the wide receiver position with a familiar face also running the Chiefs’ defense.
Over in the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers will host the Detroit Lions, who are busy erasing the past and creating a new story for themselves. They, of course, are led by a former Giant.
In total, 18 former coaches and players who have passed through the Giants organization will partake in the championship festivities next Sunday. Here’s a look at each of them.
These five players could have bigger and more noteworthy roles for the New York Giants during the 2024 regular season.
The New York Giants finished a disappointing 6-11 in 2023, failing to follow up their encouraging 2022 when they went 9-8, won a Wild Card playoff game, and advanced to the NFC Divisional round.
They hope to turn things around in 2024. If they are to do so, they’ll need to get contributions from some of the younger players on their roster who have not yet established themselves.
Here are five players who should have bigger roles in 2024 for the Giants.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels is becoming a popular mock to the New York Giants but most still favor offensive linemen and receivers.
Mock draft season is heating up and when it comes to the New York Giants, there is no consensus. Most insiders and experts have their own theories about what general manager Joe Schoen will do and precious few match up.
In our last mock draft round-up, the Giants seemed to focus heavily on offensive linemen and receivers — both wideouts and tight ends.
That trend continued over the past week with one small exception: A specific quarterback has become a bit more prevalent.
Here’s a round-up of the most recent mock drafts and who they have the Giants selecting.
The New York Giants have hired Aaron Wellman and here are four things to know about the executive director of player performance.
The New York Giants hired Aaron Wellman as their new executive director of player performance on Tuesday.
Wellman replaces Craig Fitzgerald, who was the Giants’ director of strength and performance the past two seasons under head coach Brian Daboll. Fitzgerald recently accepted the same position at the University of Florida.
Here are four quick things to know about Wellman
The New York Giants have hired Joel Thomas and here are five things to know about their next running backs coach.
The New York Giants officially announced the hiring of Joel Thomas as their next running backs coach on Tuesday.
Thomas will replace Jeff Nixon, who recently departed for Syracuse, where he’ll serve as their offensive coordinator and running backs coach.
Thomas will inherit a running back group rife with uncertainty. Saquon Barkley avoided exit interviews and all but demanded the Giants franchise him before March if they intend to. If not, Barkley says, it’s time to let him go.
If the Giants opt against franchising Barkley and fail to sign him to a long-term deal, he will become an unrestricted free agent.
Needless to say, Thomas has a lot of work to do. But before that begins, here are five things to know about the Giants’ new running backs coach.
Misery loves company and New York Giants Twitter wasted no time in welcoming the Dallas Cowboys after their latest playoff choke.
Misery loves company, as they say, and on Sunday down in Arlington, the Dallas Cowboys joined the New York Giants in that misery.
A week after the Giants saw their season come to an underwhelming end, the Cowboys did what the Cowboys do and choked in the playoffs.
Despite home-field advantage and the annual round of, “this is our year,” Dallas was blown out by the Green Bay Packers, 48-32, in a game that was never as close as the final score indicates.
Quarterback Dak Prescott tossed two interceptions while dealing with some miscommunication issues with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and Mike McCarthy exited the field for what may have been his final time as Cowboys coach.
Unsurprisingly, the entire football world had a little fun at Dallas’ expense. That includes Giants Twitter, which unloaded on the Cowboys without hesitation or restriction.
Interested in what was said? Well… Here we go.
