Overview
- Reese delivered back‑to‑back hits on running back Cam Skattebo during a fully padded practice on Friday, a sequence that drew audible reactions from observers and reporters.
- Coaches have slotted the No. 5 overall pick to start at inside linebacker alongside Tremaine Edmunds and used him in multiple alignments in coverage and run fits.
- Camp reports highlight Reese’s speed, length and downhill tackling, with plays that included a run stop and a sack earlier in camp that reinforced his physical profile.
- Reese told reporters he takes pride in assignment discipline and studying his responsibilities, a trait coaches cite as helping him adapt from an edge prospect to an off‑ball role.
- Giants evaluators say preseason game reps and early regular‑season snaps will be the real test of his durability and true impact despite early praise and speculative Rookie of the Year talk.
