NFC Notes: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

Cowboys

Eagles

Eagles RB Miles Sanders is still coming into this season with a chip on his shoulder after dealing with injuries that cost him five games in 2021.

โ€œIโ€™ve still got a lot to prove,โ€ Sanders said, via Pro Football Network. โ€œA lot of people donโ€™t respect all the work Iโ€™ve done, and Iโ€™ve still got a lot to prove. Iโ€™m taking it real personally this year. Just find a way to get noticed and command the respect, Iโ€™m not taking no for an answer this year. Just stay healthy, just be available, thatโ€™s my main goal this year. I want to be the best. Thatโ€™s what I train to be. I want to be the best, period. I exhaust myself by working hard to try to get to that point. Iโ€™m taking it a little more personally this year. I didnโ€™t take too much time off, I had my little injury, got my hand right and Iโ€™m good to go. We had potential last year, and you saw what we did with it โ€” we still made the playoffs, but thatโ€™s not good enough for us. We got a lot of new pieces. Just canโ€™t wait to get back together with the guys and get the chemistry going and start the season off right and get off to a good start.โ€

Giants

  • According to SNYโ€™s Ralph Vacchiano, the Giants may have an interest in North Carolina QB Sam Howell after sending a group of personnel to scout him at his Pro Day and inviting him for a pre-draft visit. 
  • Vacchiano does note that while the team may be targeting Howell in the second round, it isnโ€™t impossible for Howell to fall further in the draft once other teams select quarterbacks in the first round.
  • Oklahoma EDGE Isaiah Thomas met virtually with the Giants. (Justin Melo)
  • South Dakota State RB Pierre Strong Jr. will meet with the Giants for a private workout. (Justin Melo)
