Tommy Dennis has tried to keep up as a tryout at Giants rookie minicamp this weekend, so it’s been nice to be able to grab on to some familiarity. Blocking for his high school teammate while they wear NFL uniforms has been fun.
“It’s good to be back out here with him,” Dennis, an offensive tackle from Penn, said of Jordan Gowins, another tryout at running back. The two played together at St. Anthony’s.
There’s a web of Long Island links at this camp. Five of the players competed in high school on the Island, two of them played there collegiately.
