2017 New York Giants’ Potential

Brandon Marshall has the same veteran presence that made Toomer so important to the New York Giants success. And Odell Beckham is probably more of a freakish athlete than even Burress was in his prime.

Rookie tight end Evan Engram figures to be a chess piece you can move any where to expose weaknesses in defensive coverage. Back in the day, Shockey was moved around the formation, and his abilities were unleashed. His presence probably haunted defensive coordinators throughout the league.

We haven’t mentioned Sterling Sheppard’s route running from the slot position, as well as his sure hands. So far this summer, Shepard has been Eli’s most consistent target.

All these receiving options has New York Giant fans dreaming of 30+ points per game, led by an  unstoppable aerial onslaught. However, all this will become a bunch “should’ve” or “could’ve” if the o-line does not gel this summer.
