The New York Giants were already well-represented at the Reese’s Senior Bowl, which will be played at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, Alabama on Saturday, February 1, but their influence continues to grow.
In addition to Mike Kafka, Joel Thomas, and Mike Adam, Giants assistant offensive line coach James Ferentz will be present. He has been added to the American Team staff as a unit coach.

The Giants added Ferentz to their staff in March of last year.
Ferentz, 35, is the son of legendary Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. Like his father, he also played his college ball at Iowa.
After graduation, Ferentz entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie offensive lineman who went on to play for the Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots.
He appeared in 61 games, starting 10, and has two Super Bowl rings from his time with the Broncos and Patriots.
Ferentz played under current Giants offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo in New England from 2019 through 2021.
