Despite reaching the postseason for the first time since 2016 (and winning a playoff game for the first time since 2011), last year’s New York Giants featured one of the NFL’s most anemic passing attacks. They finished 26th in passing yards (185.7 per game) and tied for 24th in TDs (17), and yet they still allowed the fifth-most sacks (49).
Injuries bore some of the blame as both Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and Sterling Shepard (knee) were lost to ACL injuries, and 2021 high-priced free-agent signee Kenny Golladay was a massive bust, forcing the team to rely on the likes of Darius Slayton, Richie James, and Isaiah Hodgins.
Of the six wideouts mentioned above, four return — Golladay was released, and James signed with the Kansas City Chiefs — and two more were added as the G-Men signed Parris Campbell and drafted Jalin Hyatt. Add it up and you have an absolute mess. While the preseason will hopefully sort some of it out, let’s take a sneak peek at what you might expect from New York’s receivers in 2023.
