The New York Giants have lacked an alpha wide receiver since they traded Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft. An attempt to rectify that situation during the 2021 offseason was thwarted by reality after both free-agent additions Kenny Golladay and first-round pick Kadarius Toney had little to no impact on the 2022 Giants under rookie head coach Brian Daboll.
Excellent coaching, play-calling, scheming, and a fourth-year quarterback limiting mistakes and developing his game gave the Giants a functional wide receiver group, despite several critical injuries to the position.
