First Impression

Albeit without pads Flowers got to make his first impression on the team in minicamp a couple of weeks ago. Coughlin noticed he moves very well for a 329-pounder and believes he’ll do well in pass protection. Coughlin said, “He’s a big man. You’re going to have to navigate a lot to get around him,”

He’s also made quite an impression on guard Geoff Schwartz, who spoke to ESPN Radio 104.5 FM The Team on the 6-foot-6, 329-pound rookie, “Ereck Flowers is a big dude. during. “He is strong. We lifted together. He is a strong kid that I look forward to seeing.“He’s a quiet guy kind of feeling his way in. I get it, I remember being a rookie. It’s tough, especially since I was a seventh-round pick, he’s the ninth pick overall. But it’s nice to have those guys in and start working with them and try to get them acclimated to the group. I’m excited to kind of see them in camp with the pads on.”

Flowers’ has even drawn comparisons to Kareem McKenzie, the Giants’ former starting right tackle in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI with his size.
