Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka is continuing his progress toward becoming an NFL head coach. Kafka will be joining 26 other coaches — including the Jets’ Shawn Jefferson and Ron Middleton — in the NFL’s Coach’s Accelerator program at the Spring League meetings in Nashville, which strives to diversify and introduce coaches to NFL front offices.

The Giants are part of a cohort they would probably prefer not to be in — they are one of 14 teams playing multiple short-week games this season. In the Giants’ case, both of their games against the Cowboys will be played on Thursday nights, the first in Week 4 and the second, in Dallas, on Thanksgiving.

This year, a majority of their easier matchups are in New Jersey. The Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders and Cincinnati Bengals all missed the playoffs last season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also had the worst record of any division winner.

3. Malik Nabers, New York Giants. The determining factor for Nabers’ rookie outlook is which version of Daniel Jones the Giants get in 2024. If it’s the player who earned PFF passing grades above 70.0 every year between 2020 and 2022, then there’s the opportunity for Nabers to make a big impact on a team where Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson tied for the lead with 76 targets in the 2023 regular season.
