Since Odell Beckham Jr.’s departure in 2019, the New York Giants have been grappling with a void for a genuine No. 1 wide receiver. No Giants receiver has exceeded 1,000 yards in a season since Beckham’s achievement in 2018. Despite this, Darius Slayton believes he’s ready to step up.
Slayton’s Stint with the Giants
Slayton, who re-signed with the Giants on a 2-year $12 million contract this offseason, has been the go-to receiver for the Giants for the majority of his tenure. He led the team in receiving in three of his first four seasons, albeit without ever surpassing the 800-yard mark.
