The New York Giants made a swift signing this offseason, picking up Shane Vereen in free agency. Vereen was thought to be a hot commodity because of his unique skillset as a receiver out of the backfield. Vereen is rewarding the Giants investment.
Vereen has caught 20 passes from Eli Manning this season for 208 yards. Vereen averages 10.8 yards per reception and those yards have been a very big part of the Giants’ success. Last season with the New England Patriots Vereen had 52 receptions for 447 yards and 3 touchdowns. Wearing Big Blue, he is on pace to shatter last season’s numbers which were a career high.
