Over the past decade the Giants have had some of the most recognizable figures in the NFL playing wide receiver for them. From Plaxico Burress to Victor Cruz to Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall, they were players who stood out on and off the field. They coupled production with personality.
Sunday night, against the Broncos, there will be none of that.
With season-ending injuries to Beckham, Marshall and Dwayne Harris, and an ankle injury to Sterling Shepard that will keep him from playing in at least this game, the Giants will roll with a group of wide outs who by themselves probably would not have the clout to get a decent seat on a Circle Line cruise around Manhattan, nevermind a Miami party yacht with Trey Songz and a night out with Justin Bieber.
