The Giants are 1-0 in the preseason — placekicker Graham Gano knocked a game-winning 24-yard field goal through the uprights as time expired for a 23-21 victory.
Whose stock rose during the opening exhibition matchup? Whose stock fell?
RISING:
LB Darrian Beavers. The rookie sixth-round draft pick was around the football on various occasions, finishing the game with three tackles. Beavers has impressed in training camp and seems to be in play for a larger role than fellow linebacker Micah McFadden, who was drafted one round prior.
Beavers is expected to provide reliable depth behind projected starting inside linebackers Blake Martinez and Tae Crowder.
