2017: Damon Harrison vs. Bobby Hart

The Giants were extremely chippy in 2017 and over a several day span, they saw multiple scuffles and full-on fights break out in camp.

In their first padded practice of the year, defensive lineman Damon Harrison and offensive lineman Bobby Hart had to be separated by teammates after a verbal exchange turned physical.

Later that year, after Hart had been waived, it was revealed by the New York Post that the two continued to have issues and that it had again boiled over in the locker room.

The source said defensive tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison was so angered by Hart’s antics back in the summer that the two almost came to blows.

“They should have let Snacks fight him, then we wouldn’t have had to play with him all year long,” the source said. “He was being a punk and he was called out by Snacks and Snacks had to be held back by four big human beings not to beat the living life out of him.”

Also around that time in 2017, running back Orleans Darkwa and linebacker B.J. Goodson got into it, as did offensive lineman Justin Pugh and linebacker Devon Kennard, and cornerback Janoris Jenkins and safety Eric Pinkins.

Additionally, Pinkins got into a fight with tight end Matt LaCosse that camp, causing an entire drill to be shut down.

Edge rusher Olivier Vernon and offensive lineman Adam Bisnowaty also squared off.
