The Giants have just six players on their roster above the age of 30 — offensive lineman Aaron Stinnie (30), defensive lineman Rakeem Nuñez-Roches (31), tight end Chris Manhertz (32), long snapper Casey Kreiter (34), offensive lineman Greg Van Roten (34), and kicker Graham Gano (37).

Of that group, only three are projected starters (Nacho, Kreiter, and Gano).

The youngest player on the Giants roster is rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (21), followed by wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (22) and rookie cornerback Andru Phillips (22).

Offensive lineman Evan Neal and linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux, despite their NFL experience, are each just 23. Linebacker Azeez Ojulari is also just 24.
