Overview
- Head coach John Harbaugh said Arvell Reese did not miss an assignment through two days of rookie minicamp and called him quick to learn.
- Harbaugh outlined a versatile plan that uses Reese in the weakside linebacker role with alignments that can look like defensive end, including snaps over the guard.
- Coaches highlighted Reese’s size and movement, noting the 6-foot-4, 240-pound rookie moves like a smaller player with smooth feet and easy hip turn.
- Reese credited high school mentor Ted Ginn Sr. and early work with linebackers coach Frank Bush and assistant Matt Pees for helping him master the playbook and keep mistakes down.
- The Giants have reworked their linebacker group with Tremaine Edmunds, and staff see Reese’s range and rush ability boosting multiple-front packages as OTAs and camp define his role.
