The New York Giants will put on the pads for the first time on Monday, which means tempers are likely to flare and fists may begin to fly.
That may sound dramatic, but it’s just the nature of NFL training camps. And when considering the Giants will also hold intrasquad scrimmages once per week, it seems almost inevitable that a few punches will be thrown.
With that in mind, here’s a look back at some of the biggest and most memorable Giants training camp fights from recent years.
2019: Lorenzo Carter vs. Nick Gates
The Giants didn’t do much fighting in 2019, but there were a few dust-ups.
One such incident came last August when linebacker Lorenzo Carter and offensive lineman Nick Gates got into a bit of a scrap.
While neither player swung at the other, there were a few shoves before teammates swarmed and pulled the two apart.
Haven’t had a fight all #Giants camp: Lorenzo Carter and Nick Gates has to be separated in scout team work just now. Slightly more than half speed. Here’s the aftermath pic.twitter.com/9rVaJ2lCDa
