Center John Michael Schmitz was the focal point of the New York Giants’ 2023 draft class on Friday night against the Detroit Lions and rightfully so. The rookie performed well, especially in pass protection, and deserved all the kudos he received.
Running back Eric Gray also gleaned a significant amount of attention for his work in the return game and some of his tough runs in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, wide receiver Jalin Hyatt drew eyes for his unexpectedly quiet performance after an electrifying start to training camp.
