Why the Giants’ team brawl was a positive sign ahead of the 2021 season

The intensity was high during the New York Giants’ first padded practice on Tuesday morning. With competitive juices flowing and the team looking to have a strong day, things boiled over during the latter portion of practice when running back Corey Clement was hit late by safety Xavier McKinney after breaking off a long run.

McKinney reportedly popped Clement and was met fiercely by tight end Evan Engram, who was then shoved by Logan Ryan, one of the team’s leaders. A full-team brawl ensued as quarterback Daniel Jones found himself at the bottom of the pile being dragged out by Center Nick Gates.
