Giants News: Brandon Brown & Mike Kafka Interviews, Tae Crowder's New Team, and More!

Drew and Rob are back with another packed episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," covering all the latest developments surrounding the New York Giants. One of the top headlines is that Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown has received a second interview with the Las Vegas Raiders for their GM position, while offensive coordinator Mike Kafka has secured a second interview with the New Orleans Saints for their head coaching vacancy. These interviews highlight the growing demand for Giants personnel in leadership roles around the league.

In other news, former Giants linebacker Tae Crowder, originally dubbed "Mr. Irrelevant" in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Georgia, has found a new home. After spending three seasons with the Giants and accumulating 232 tackles, Crowder had brief stints with the Steelers, Chargers, and Titans. He sat out the entire 2024 season but has now signed with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions, looking to rejuvenate his football career.

The NFL's "Hard Knocks" series might not be returning for the offseason, with teams reportedly hesitant after the Giants' challenging experience on the show. NFL Films VP Keith Cossrow recently addressed the situation, indicating that they are still in talks with teams but need a willing participant to move forward. With the Giants' struggles documented last season, it remains uncertain if any team will step up.

Rookie tight end Theo Johnson opened up about his first year in the NFL, describing it as a whirlwind experience filled with valuable lessons. Despite suffering a season-ending injury—a broken fifth metatarsal in the Thanksgiving game against the Cowboys—Johnson is nearing full recovery and is eager to make an impact in the 2025 season. He remains optimistic about his role in helping turn the Giants' offense around.

Giants legend Michael Strahan is set to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Strahan's dominance at Texas Southern, where he set records for single-season and career sacks, paved the way for an illustrious NFL career with the Giants. He finished just shy of Lawrence Taylor's franchise sack record and ranks among the league's all-time leaders in sacks. Strahan will be honored alongside football greats such as Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, and Michael Vick.

The episode also features an in-depth analysis of the Giants' edge rushers. Brian Burns had a standout season with 8.5 sacks and 71 tackles, earning an impressive PFF grade of 79.2. Kayvon Thibodeaux followed with 5.5 sacks, while Azeez Ojulari contributed 6 sacks despite limited starts.
