Just about every aspect of the Giants last season was disappointing, but perhaps the most frustrating unit in 2021 was the wide receiver corps.
The Giants went out and spent big money on Kenny Golladay and drafted Kadarius Toney in the first round to help Daniel Jones take the next step – and they combined for zero touchdowns.
We broke down what the receivers need to do in 2022 to be better – which isn’t much. That’s how bad it was last year.
But new head coach Brian Daboll is putting them to the test early, and is pleased with what he’s seen thus far in OTAs.
“Kenny and KT are involved in the meetings and picking up the things…. All those young guys, and really, some of the older guys, [Darius Slayton] have done a good job for us. All those guys are picking it up and doing what they can.
“The more you can do [on the field], the better off it is, because you’re out there actually doing it. It’s one thing looking at it on a book, but even the walkthroughs are helpful for those guys.”
Despite an already-crowded receiver room (Sterling Shepard is still here), Joe Schoen wanted some more fresh blood and took Wan’Dale Robinson in the second round out of Kentucky.
