For some players, this Giants rookie camp is their only opportunity to impress NFL coaches and executives.
And then there are players such as Will Tye, the former Stony Brook University tight end who is attending the first of two rookie camps he has lined up. Tye also is invited to participate in the Chiefs' camp next week.
Unless, of course, he lands with the Giants. He's here as a tryout and could be signed.
"The Giants gave me a call," he said. "I was like, 'Definitely! Why not?'"
So he made the short trip from his home in Salisbury, Connecticut, - "I just drove here, it was an easy process" - and is giving it a whirl.
