...I've got my hopes up for a really solid secondary this season. The rookies look good, especially Hawkins.
Tre Hawkins gets first-team reps
Rookie cornerback Tre Hawkins III, a sixth-round pick, has been impressive during the early part of camp.
“He’s done a nice job with the opportunities that he’s given,” Daboll said. “He’ll get some more chances.”
On Monday, Hawkins was given the opportunity to run with the first-team defense during several of the 11-on-11 periods.
On one red zone play near the end of practice Hawkins forced a Daniel Jones throwaway by blanketing Darius Slayton.
Hawkins did give up a touchdown to Parris Campbell on a deep ball from Jones, but Hawkins had excellent position and was beaten only by the combination of a great throw from Jones and catch by Campbell.
The Giants looked at a lineup with rookies Hawkins and Deonte Banks on the outside and Adoree’ Jackson in the slot. We will have to see if that is something we see more of going forward.
