The New York Giants' 2024 rookie class completed their first day of school, taking the field for the first of two rookie mini-camp sessions on Friday.

First-year cornerback Dru Phillips, the Giants' third-round pick from Kentucky, will look to seize the opportunity ahead with the Giants looking to fill in their cornerback spot opposite last year's rookie standout, Deonte Banks.

Many have questioned whether Phillips would be used as a slot cornerback or on the boundary. Phillips is clear about his preference.

"I can play both, but preferably the nickel position,” Phillips told reporters.
