New York Giants Rookies Struggle Pronouncing Poughkeepsie, Schenectady

New York Giants Rookies Arrive For Pre Season

Every year, once the NFL Draft wraps up, the rookies selected by each team get to work.

New York Giants rookies made their way to New Jersey to get ready with pre season workouts and getting acclimated to their new hometown.

Part of the new tradition is for the social media team to haze them a bit with funny videos shared to Instagram and TikTok.

The most recent video shows the rookies struggling through New York and New Jersey town names.

New York Giants Rookies Struggle Through NY Town Names

It's become a rite of passage over the last few years in the New York Giants organization.

Once the rookies arrive in town, the Giants social media squad gives them a bunch of town names in New Jersey and New York to pronounce. But it's not the easy ones like Brooklyn or Newark.

They throw the tough ones at them like Greenwich and Houston Street. Needless to say it's a difficult watch, but a must watch too.

Take a look at the video below as the Giants rookies struggle through town names like Secaucus, Poughkeepsie and Schenectady:
