The New York Giants have tried to find a true No. 1 wide receiver since Odell Beckham Jr. was traded to the Cleveland Browns before the 2019 NFL Draft. The team has had one winning season since then, and just three since Super Bowl XLVI.
Darren Waller was Joe Schoen’s attempt to give the offense a No. 1 passing threat to compliment Saquon Barkley on the ground while complicating defensive strategy on the opposite side of the football. It’s safe to say the plan did not transpire as one would have liked.
