“My first two years in the league I battled some injuries and there were some ups and downs,” he recently said on the 2nd Wind podcast. “Last year was my first healthy year going into camp prepared and ready both mentally and physically. Coaches would tell me I look confident out there and I’m just trying to take that same approach into this year.
“I feel the strongest and fastest I’ve ever felt. I’m just getting in shape with all the guys and trying to prepare myself mentally for another long year of football in a new role with the Giants.”

Mark Glowinski Believes the Best is Yet to Come for Giants Offense | Sports Illustrated
The offensive line struggled with consistency, but Glowinski believes that the growth the unit has shared on and off the field should make for better communication.
“I think a lot of it is just us having the ability to get to know one another and all the little things we do outside,” he said. “If it’s how many times we spend in the cafeteria with one another or little trips we take, I think we’re a fine-knit group of individuals. So I think a lot of what we did initially, it was just learning plays, but I think even within this off-season alone, I think we’ve done a lot of things to kind of close the gaps in, in different things, especially just getting to know one another and, and you know when you get to know somebody a little bit better. I think that will make us a better group.”

Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale has a history of getting the best out of his safeties, and with last year's hand injury in the rearview mirror, McKinney could be in for a big season. The Giants' pass defense ranked 14th in yards and ninth in touchdowns allowed last season. With the presence of Banks opposite Jackson, along with a healthy McKinney, the unit has a chance to improve even more in 2023.
Gio says people need to stop underestimating Giants | WFAN.com
“I think that’s a mistake,” Gio said of those overlooking Big Blue. “I really do. I was someone who was down on the Giants for years and years, and was dead wrong about them last year…it’s not a fluke.
“The Giants last year, that was not a fluke to me. They ran into an Eagles team that was much better than them and went to the Super Bowl last year…but this was a team that played really good defense, had a quarterback who took a huge step forward, and only has gotten better now. The offense has only gotten better. Daniel Jones played the best game of his life in that playoff win.”
