The fact there were people considered "giants" doesn't mean they were Nephilim. People with creative imaginations seem to want to make this connection in order to make everything fit into a tidy explanation... but the bible never makes that connection. BTW, ever seen middle eastern people? Just about everyone else compared to them would be considered "large", especially people of that ancestry in bible times (average male was 5'5" to 5'7"). Also, just like with the ten spies, Caleb was not an inspired man. To make definitive claims about these sorts of things, we need inspired men/writers to verify it. Otherwise, it's just myths and legends that we're dealing with.
