See it: Giants coaches scouting for the future at Senior Bowl, Shrine Bowl

Some sights and sounds from New York Giants coaches and assistants at both the 2024 Senior Bowl and 2024 East-West Shrine Bowl.

The New York Giants are well-represented at the 2024 Senior Bowl and the 2024 East-West Shrine Game this week — both in terms of coaches and scouts.

At the Senior Bowl, quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney is serving as the offensive coordinator of the National Team with assistant special teams coach Mike Adams serving as the special teams coordinator of the American Team.

Meanwhile, at the Shrine Bowl, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka is serving as head coach of the West Team. He’s been joined by offensive assistant Angela Baker, who is coaching tight ends.

Newly hired special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial is filling that same role for the East Team.

Here are some quick sights and sounds from the Giants’ side of things at these two games.

Giants’ Angela Baker added to West Team’s staff for Shrine Bowl

New York Giants offensive assistant Angela Baker will join Mike Kafka on the West Team and coach tight ends during the Shrine Bowl.

Former New York Giants quarterback Davis Webb will serve as the West Team’s offensive coordinator in the upcoming East-West Shrine Bowl which will be played on Thursday, February 1 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

Webb joins current Giants’ offensive coordinator Mike Kafka — who is the head coach — on the West Team staff and Giants offensive assistant Angela Baker, who will coach the tight ends.

Webb just finished his first season as the quarterbacks coach of the Denver Broncos after concluding a six-year NFL playing career. He was originally drafted by the Giants in the third round (87th overall) of the 2017 NFL draft and spent time with the Giants, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills, mainly as a practice squadder and backup.

Baker, meanwhile, was hired as the Giants’ offensive quality control coach in 2022 before being promoted to offensive assistant in 2023.

Prior to her time in East Rutherford, Baker served as the kickers and punters/special teams/defensive quality control coach for the University of Redlands Bulldogs, a Division III school out of Southern California.

Baker also has on-field experience, having played for the Pittsburgh Passion in the Women’s Football Alliance (full-contact). During that time, she was named a seven-time All-American and the 2016 National Conference Offensive Player of the League.

While with the Cleveland Browns as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coach Fellowship program, Baker worked with the team’s quarterbacks. She helped analyze film, study the playbooks, and identify quarterback weaknesses.

In addition to Thomas, the Giants also officially announced the hires of running backs coach Jeff Nixon, assistant offensive line coach Chris Smith, and offensive assistant Christian Daboll.
