The New York Giants seem to have struck gold in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The Gmen had two picks in the fifth round, and so far, it looks like they hit on both of them. Their first fifth-round pick, Darius Slayton, has been the team’s most dependable and electric receiver this season, leading all rookies with 8 touchdown receptions.
The Giants’ second pick in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft was linebacker Ryan Connelly. Connelly had an excellent start to the season before having his rookie campaign cut short due to a gruesome knee injury.
