Yung Joka released a song
On Monday, Toney (AKA “Yung Joka”) released a new music video titled “Play With Me.” The video was uploaded on his YouTube channel at noon ET and has a little over 2,000 views in just under 24 hours.
Kadarius Toney. Thibodeaux a little banged up
Daboll said “hopefully he’ll be good to go.” Sources have previously indicated that Thibodeaux’s undisclosed injury isn’t considered serious. And the rookie edge rusher did some light running on the side of Thursday’s ninth OTA practice.
Evan Neal doing a great job in mini camp
All eyes will be on Evan Neal entering this season as one of the Giants’ most exciting offseason acquisitions. After a few short weeks of practice, the rookie is already standing out. Neal’s comrade on the right side of the offensive line, Mark Glowinski, described him as a “dominant” player.
Mark Glowinski was asked what his first impression has been of rookie right tackle Evan Neal so far during this summer’s practices:
Just dominant. As long as he gets his hands on guys, that’s the end of the story. So just making sure that we put him in the right place; make sure that he is doing the right things. He has come along drastically every day, learning more and more. – Mark Glowinski on Evan Neal via Giants.com
Evan Neal was a dominant force during his collegiate playing career at Alabama. It should excite Giants fans to hear that their first-round draft pick is continuing his dominant ways in practice. It is also exciting to hear Mark Glowinski describe Neal’s development, explaining how he is learning and improving drastically with every day of practice.
Neal started all 13 games at left guard during his freshman year in 2019 before moving to right tackle in 2020. He was a starting member of the team that won the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship. Following the 2021 season, Neal announced that he would forgo his senior year and enter the 2022 NFL Draft.
Marion Barber found dead in Texas apartment
Former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber was found dead in his apartment by Frisco police on Wednesday. The cause of his death is unknown. According to a source, police responded to a welfare check at Barber’s apartment because someone had called about a water leak coming from his apartment. Police forced their way in.
Frank Gore retires as a Niner
Frank Gore, the third-leading rusher in NFL history who is also known for his toughness, durability and most of all longevity, is signing a one-day contract with with the 49ers, then calling it a career.
Over his 16 seasons in the NFL, Gore rushed for 16,000 yards, had 484 catches for 3,985 yards and scored 100 touchdowns after being drafted out of Miami by San Francisco in the third round round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He also played for the Colts, Dolphins, Bills and Jets and was selected to five Pro Bowls in his career.
Only Emmitt Smith (18,355 yards) and Walter Payton (16,726 yards) rushed for more yards than Gore, who turned 39 last month and was an unsigned free agent before inking the ceremonial deal with the 49ers. With the news, San Francisco also announced today that Gore will be inducted into its Hall of Fame.
