For the first time in a while, there is a sense of optimism as the New York Giants prepare for training camp.

The franchise showed progress under rookie coach Joe Judge in the second half of the 2020 season.

Forget that the overall record was 6-10, it was 5-3 in the second half and New York was in contention for the NFC East title on the final day of the schedule.
