Colt McCoy expects Giants’ virtual offseason program to begin on Monday

New York Giants backup quarterback Colt McCoy expects the team’s offseason workout program to get underway on Monday as scheduled, but with a bit of a hitch.

Of course, the Giants can not descend on East Rutherford as a team due to the coronavirus pandemic, but advancements in technology may provide them a way to skirt around that a bit.

No, there won’t be any work in the weight room, no in-house team meetings and no person-to-person interaction with coaches, but there will be virtual meetings and playbooks if all goes according to plan.

McCoy also acknowledged something that general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Joe Judge have not — Daniel Jones entering the season as the unquestioned starting quarterback.

However, McCoy noted that he intends on taking a coach-like approach to serving as the No. 2 so that he can both help Jones as needed and prepare himself in the event he has to step in and play.

Additionally, McCoy, who acknowledged that he may get into coaching once his playing career winds down, believes his experience as a young player during the NFL lockout can help smooth out the adjustment to other players this season.
