Dalvin Tomlinson not focused on contract

Defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson can be a free agent at the end of the season. Does he want to remain with the Giants, who drafted him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft?

“I feel like the Giants organization… I’m loyal. This is family here. But I’m not focused on any of that stuff. I’m just focused on one week at a time,” Tomlinson said. “I’m not going to really focus on the contract stuff right now. I’m just coming in every day trying to help the team as best as I possibly can, care for my teammates, and helping everybody across the board improve. I’ll just let that take care of itself in the long run.”

Joe Judge praises Austin Mack

Earlier this week, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert praised undrafted Austin Mack. Wednesday, head coach Joe Judge followed suit.

“He’s definitely a scrappy dude. One thing about Austin, and I’ve kind of told him this directly, ‘look man, you’re the kind of guy that hangs around a lot. You make plays and you do things. You block for us, you make tough catches. You’re going to help us in the kicking game at different times,’ “ Judge said. “He just keeps showing up. He’s a guy that at times he may not flash all the time but does something that just jumps out at you. He just keeps making play after play and he shows up on a regular basis.

“For a young player, this guy is a smart player, he’s an instinctive player ... He’s very aware of what’s going on around him. He understands what his strengths are, he understands what he needs to improve on as a rookie. ... This guy has earned everything he’s gotten so far. He keeps coming to work every day and giving us reasons to put him on the field.”
