Welcome back. It's the big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join as always my co-host, Nick Falado. And today we're here to wrap up the most recent Giants OTAs. I believe OTA is number nine.

It's the last before next week's mandatory minicam, which I'm excited for because mandatory minicamp is not only going to bring us probably the conclusion of the Darren Waller Saga, but more importantly, I feel like it gets the most coverage from the media and it has the most access. This was the only day of media access today, so we finally got some good stuff to come out of it. And let's start with now bearing the lead, Nick. And it's start with this quote from Art Stapleton, who covers the

Giants. It's not known for his hyperbole. So I think this really means something when he says it. And he said, I'm a leak neighbors today. I have not seen a wide receiver have a practice like he did today since Odo Beckham Jr. I wish I could give you more than words in the video the team ops to put out when it comes to what neighbors was able to do on the field today.

And, you know, everything we saw was two long touchdowns during 11 on 11s.

During the early drills, he made some really good catches extending away from his frame.

Just showed off just about everything that we already saw on tape.

There's a reason why you and I, Nick, declared him when we did our pre-draft analysis,

an elite type of prospect, a real true blue-chip guy, a guy who you said, I was going to love a tape, and I did him. When I said he was my top-ranked receiver in seven of the last 10 draft classes, I meant it. I really did. He's a different level prospect.

And I think he put it on display already today in his first practice that the OTA of OTA is that the media was there for, maybe the

second media had coverage for. But I just wanted to start there because really he blew things

away today at practice. Hype train. Let's go, Malik neighbors. No, I absolutely love it. It's no

surprise, though. This is why you spend the sixth overall pick on a wide receiver.

You want them to come in here and do this.

You don't want him to come in here and be freaking Kevin White, right? Like you want him to dominate. And I absolutely love this too. and I know Deontay Banks commented on this,

but I love this because Deontay Banks now gets to go up against someone

who is

equally, if not more talented than he is. Like, that's going to be something that we're going to

be looking at throughout the next couple seasons. Deontay Banks versus Malik neighbors in practice,

who is going to get the edge. Iron sharpens iron, make each other one of the best at their

positions in the entire national football league. I love that iron sharpens iron thing. other one of the best at their positions in the entire national football league.

I love that iron sharpens iron thing. I love that that would be the matchup.
