The New York Giants are going to look very different on the offensive side of the ball this season.
In an offseason where they saw their best offensive player, Saquon Barkley, sign with the division rival Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants used the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft to secure a replacement playmaker, albeit at a different position.
While Malik Nabers may not be a running back, he, like Barkley before him, will be the focal point of the Giants’ offense.
Last year’s third-round pick, Jalin Hyatt, is a big fan of the addition of Nabers and talked about how the Giants’ top pick will make the other receivers better.

“This is not a selfish game, this is a team sport game. Really, just adding Malik — it helps me, it helps Wan’Dale, it helps Slay. He’s a great athlete (and a) great player,” Hyatt told Art Stapleton.
“I’m glad we added him. We can do a lot more things on offense; we can be much more versatile. We can put guys in other spots and not only that, we can change what the defense sees with their eyes with Malik, so I’m proud he’s on our team.”
Hyatt’s rookie year was a tough one. However, with a revolving door at the quarterback position, it was hard for anyone on the Giants offense to get anything going.
With improvements along the offensive line, a healthy Daniel Jones, and the addition of Nabers, the Giants hope to see their offense improve in 2024.
