Day 4 of training camp is in the books.

The Giants wrapped up their first week of summer practices on Saturday as part of the NFL's "Back Together Weekend."

Giants fans showed out for today's session, and the team made sure to reward them with some notable performances.

The players are off tomorrow before returning on Monday for the first padded practice of the year.

Here is everything you need to know from today.

Jaxson connects with new pass-catchers

Jaxson Dart spread the ball around to many of his new playmakers on Saturday. It began with the first play of team drills, when the second-year quarterback unleashed a ball deep down the sideline to Malachi Fields. The rookie receiver was able to bring it in for a gain of 40+ yards.

Dart found many of his new teammates later on during 7-on-7s, as well. He hit Isaiah Likely up the sideline for a big gain, before connecting with Calvin Austin towards the sideline for a first down. This was followed with completions to Braxton Berrios and Darnell Mooney, before the young quarterback ended the period with a pass to Theo Johnson up the sideline for a significant gain.

Odell finds the end zone

For the second straight day, most of the team drills took place on the offense's side of the 50-yard line. However, one period did focus on situational football, and specifically trying to score right before halftime.

With the ball set just outside the 10-yard line, Jameis Winston found Odell Beckham Jr. in the back of the end zone. The veteran wideout made a leaping grab and got both feet down for the lone touchdown of the day.

Defense gets their hands on the ball

The defense came through with a few big plays of their own on Saturday. Darius Alexander tipped a pass at the line of scrimmage, and Paulson Adebo secured the throw for the unit's first interception of the day.

Later on during 7-on-7s, Tremaine Edmunds put his athleticism on full display. The veteran linebacker dropped into coverage and made a leaping grab for an interception. Edmunds has gotten his hands on a few passes over the first few days of practice, as he continues to use his length (6-foot-4) to make plays.

Other notable plays

Similar to placekicker Ben Sauls yesterday, Dominic Zvada took advantage of his opportunities on Day 4. During the situational period, the team practiced picking up a few yards on a play before rushing the field goal unit out to quickly get an attempt off before the end of the first half. Zvada came through on all four of his attempts during these drills as he connected from 49, 51, 42 and 39 yards.

Jack Kelly was the seventh and final player selected by the Giants in this year's draft. During his two seasons at BYU, Kelly earned numerous honors for his performance on the field. The rookie linebacker showed off some of his skills on Saturday. First, during 7-on-7s, Kelly ran across the field and was able to bat the ball away for a pass breakup. Later on during 11-on-11s, the 23-year-old ran step for step with Calvin Austin III on a route deep down the field. Kelly knocked the ball away while almost coming down with an incredibly athletic interception.

In addition to his catch from Jaxson Dart earlier, Theo Johnson caught a pass from Jameis Winston up the seam for a big gain towards the end of practice.

After notching an interception during yesterday's practice, Darius Alexander, whose tipped ball led to Paulson Adebo's interception early in the session, also came through with what would have been a sack during the situational period.
