New York Giants: When does 2017 training camp start?

The New York Giants hope to improve off of a playoff appearance last season by being in the Super Bowl race, but when does 2017 training camp begin?

Coming off of a postseason appearance last year, the New York Giants have to like what they have going into 2017. They went 10-6 a season ago, including handing the rival Dallas Cowboys two of their three regular-season losses. Building off of that, this is a team that’s done enough to potentially be in the mix for a Super Bowl run.

Obviously the Giants still have Eli Manning in the fold, which is a given for the quarterback in his mid-30s. He remains unspectacular, but is a steady force for the offense. What he has going for him is his weapons, highlighted by the enigmatic Odell Beckham Jr. But New York has added more complements in recent years, drafting Sterling Shepard in 2016 and signing Brandon Marshall this offseason. That duo might be one of the best in the league.

Meanwhile, the 2016 shopping spree in free agency to improve the defense paid dividends. Janoris Jenkins and Olivier Vernon proved worth their hefty price, as did Damon Harrison. With that said, the emergence of Landon Collins as an elite NFL safety may have helped the most in improving on that side of the ball.

Though those are all positive, there are still concerns for the Giants. Their defensive depth is lacking, which is a minor concern, but troubling nonetheless. More problematic, however, is their offensive line. It was an abysmal unit last season, not giving Manning time or allowing for any balance with the run game. They did little to improve the unit this offseason, shockingly. So that unit up front could be the key to the 2017 season.

With those questions and high hopes for this Giants team, fans are ready for them to, well, get ready to work. So then, when does New York Giants 2017 training camp start?
