After the Giants listed him atop the tight end depth chart, Larry Donnell has impressed in camp, reports the team's website. "Last week he dove for a pass down the middle and maintained possession of the ball after tumbling upon landing," the report said. "[Thursday], he jumped high in the end zone to grab a Ryan Nassib pass."
Coach Tom Coughlin said Donnell, a converted quarterback, "has a long way to go, but I like what I see."
Added tight ends coach Kevin M. Gilbride: "He has athleticism, size, speed and strength. He’s got it all as far as that’s concerned. We’re working hard to get him to develop his techniques and understand how to use his body within the blocking, within the inline position or even from the fullback position. He can do it physically and he’s starting to be able to do it athletically, meaning knowing how his body has to move to get those things done. So he’s improving."
