Rookies about to get their first taste of the NFL

I'm sure a lot of Giants fans are very eager to find out what this year's class of rookies looks like on the field. Well, unfortunately, you won't be able to actually "see" them until training camp begins in August. But you'll be able to read about them beginning tomorrow.

On Friday, the Giants' three-day minicamp opens up. Many players are arriving today and tonight, obviously.

So I just wanted to remind you that you can come here to this blog for updates throughout the day on both Friday and Saturday (there is no media availability on Sunday). You can also follow along with me on Twitter.

As much as I usually look forward to seeing the rookies on the field, I'm also looking forward to meeting Perry Fewell for the first time. We had him on a conference call about a week after he was hired, but this will be the first time we get to have a face-to-face chat with the new defensive coordinator. Gilbride will be there too but he's old news. Sorry, Kevin! You had your rookie minicamp in the sun last year when you got to talk about Hakeem Nicks and Ramses Barden!

Here's the schedule, so you'll know approximately when to click on and when to ease up on the refresh button. It's changed a few times this week, but this is the latest version:
