UNION -- The Giants doubled-down on building a star-studded offense around 37-year-old quarterback Eli Manning this offseason, by drafting running back Saquon Barkley No. 2 overall, signing veteran left tackle Nate Solder, and adding second-round rookie left guard Will Hernandez.
Barkley, Hernandez, and Solder join a collection of skill-position players that might be the most dynamic collection of talent in the NFL with wide receivers Odell Beckham, Sterling Shepard, and second-year tight end Evan Engram already in the mix.
It is now incumbent on Manning to maximize the potential of the talent on the roster, and he believes that Shepard in particular could be poised for a breakout.
