The Giants are going Hollywood.

California natives Ramses Barden and Justin Tryon have been selected to attend the second annual “NFL Pro Hollywood Boot Camp” at Universal Studios this month in Los Angeles.

The wide receiver and cornerback will join 20 other current and former NFL players for a four-day boot camp offering a comprehensive overview of creative disciplines in the film industry, including screen writing, directing, producing and film financing.

“We are excited to continue providing opportunities for active and former players to explore and develop valuable professional contacts in a wide range of career fields,” said Troy Vincent, senior vice president of NFL Player Engagement.

“We are excited to work with the NFL on the second Pro Hollywood Boot Camp, which exposes players to life beyond the field, “said Jeff Friday, CEO of Film Life Inc., which created the Pro Hollywood initiative. “Pro Hollywood was designed to provide an in-depth overview of the film business as well as a mentorship program for those who come out of it serious about building a career in film.”

The program, which runs from March 11-15, is being directed by NFL Player Engagement and the New York-based production company Film Life Inc., and participants will have the opportunity to shoot and edit a short film at Universal Studios. NFL Player Engagement now offers current and former players 10 training programs for post-NFL careers, including the NFL Business of Music Boot Camp, which Giants defensive tackle Marvin Austin attended last year.

Adrian Tracy makes most of expanded role

Dan Salomone — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 22:03:56 +0000

Somewhere along the way in preparing for San Francisco, Adrian Tracy’s name came up among Tom Coughlin and his staff. So they wrote the defensive-end-turned-linebacker-turned-whatever-you-need into the script on Sunday.

The payoff was high as the Giants 2010 sixth round draft pick turned his dozen snaps into four tackles, including his first career sack. Hampered by injuries throughout his young career (which included spending all of 2010 on injured reserve), Tracy has played in every game this season and made the most of his opportunity against the 49ers.

“They asked Adrian to step up this week and play a different role than what he had over the last couple weeks,” Michael Boley said Monday on a conference call with Giants beat reporters. “And he stepped up and played pretty well. Hat off to him.”

Tracy saw the bulk of his action as an outside linebacker, and got his feet wet early with a tackle on running back Frank Gore for no gain. He finished the game as strong as he started and sacked backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick for a loss of six yards on the 49ers’ last offensive snap of the game. Eli Manning and company took over in the victory formation and preserved the win.

Tracy was one of a handful of players asked to do more than usual in San Francisco.

“Guys played hard,” Coughlin said on a conference call. “Lots of people got to contribute and play. Adrian Tracy made a contribution in there, did a very nice job. We got to play a bunch of guys on special teams and they rose up and did a nice job of that. Michael Coe came back and was healthy and made a couple tackles on special teams, and Justin Tryon had three tackles on special teams. Lots of people played and contributed and we tried to be able to do some things with their personnel combinations. And we used lots of people on the field and they played well. So I was pleased to see that happen.”
