The New York Giants and their fans will get their first look at No. 1 draft choice and franchise savior Eli Manning on Friday on the opening day of the team's three-day mini-camp. "I know how it works," Archie Manning, Eli's father and a former NFL quarterback, told the New York Post. "Some guys are going to sit over there and they are just going to watch him a little. They are going to watch his actions. They are going to watch how he deals with this, how he does that. I am going to tell him that you have to be yourself, you roll up your sleeves, you go to work and you just deal with it. I am confident that he will handle that part of it very well."

Meanwhile, the Giants are considering obtaining St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner. The two-time NFL MVP appears to be on his way out of St. Louis and his agent is talking with a number of teams. Sure the Giants are planning to put Eli under center right from the start, but they want some insurance.
