The 2019 season was a problematic one for New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Having signed a four-year, $41 million extension last off-season, Shepard was expected to make a significant impact moving forward, but injuries could derail his career prematurely.
Extending Shepard was a byproduct of trading away Odell Beckham Jr., along with signing Golden Tate, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. Last season saw many negatives and positives, but one of the major deficiencies was the loss of Shepard on two separate concussions, forcing him out for six total games.
