One of the more interesting stories of the rookie camp, believe it or not, is a punter.
Owen Tolson is here as an undrafted free agent, just a few weeks shy of graduating from the USMA at West Point. He's in the same highly-publicized situation as Lions draft pick Caleb Campbell, meaning that if he makes the team he won't have to serve his full active miltary duty of five years. Rather, he'll spend time as a recruiter and have to put in two years in the reserves after his playing days are finished.
"It's just a different mission," Tolson said of the possibility of avoiding active duty.
So for Tolson, he could either spend the next few years thinking about the hang time on his punts or trying to knock enemy planes and missiles out of the sky in air defense.
In case you didn't notice, the Giants already have a punter. So the chances of Tolson sticking around after training camp are pretty slim. It's actually common for punters to spend a few years dancing on the periphery of the league before sticking with a team, but Tolson won't exactly have that opportunity.
"I know it's going to be a lot harder for me than some of the other guys to come back after a year or so because the Army may need me elsewhere," he said. "I’m fully aware that I need to make a good impression now, get some good kicks on film, learn from Feagles, better my game, and hopefully I’ll stick around."
