## Resource

ESPN’s All-Backup team spotlighted two Giants: QB Jameis Winston and edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux—proof of the team’s growing depth. Winston, a high-octane backup with veteran leadership, thrived in limited action last season, mentoring rookie Jaxson Dart. Thibodeaux, who’s more of a starter-in-waiting, brings elite pass-rush efficiency and run-stopping power, betting big on himself in a new defensive scheme. Both are proving they’re more than backups—this roster is built to compete. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
