Giants hot dog eating contest 2023 NFL News

It's the fourth of July and the New York Giants are off enjoying their summer vacation.

They, like many in America, will likely tune in to the 2023 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, an annual event held every Independence Day on Coney Island.

So in honor of tradition, today we're going to look at the three Giants most capable of winning a hot dog eating contest. Hope you're hungry:

The “Heavy” Favorite: Dexter Lawrence, NT

At nearly 350 pounds after a couple of meals, the sheer amount of calories required to get the big man moving makes him an obvious choice for a hot dog contest winner. 



Between needing to fuel the machinery that is his body and the competitive stamina Lawrence has shown, defeating him would be no easy task. 

The Undersized Sleeper: Jalin Hyatt, WR

Despite hailing concerns that stem from his weight, Hyatt is no stranger to eating more than normal, reportedly eating up to six times a day during his college days in Tennessee. 



The wispy pass catcher may need to add weight, but it doesn't mean you should count him out in a hot dog-eating contest. 

The ultimate competitor: Brian Daboll, HC

Something tells me that it could be a game of cards, a hot dog eating contest, or a harmless round of golf, and Giants HC Brian Daboll would take it as seriously as if his life depended on it. 



Between his dry sense of humor and omnipresent determination to succeed, you would be mistaken to count this ball coach out of any competition, even a hot dog eating contest.
