Brandon Marshall is doing everything in his power to be a productive member of the New York Giants. He’s proving as much with Eli Manning.

The New York Giants have a rare opportunity to become the most explosive offense in the NFL. The offensive line is still a question mark, but quarterback Eli Manning has a full arsenal of weapons at his disposal.

While it all may look good on paper, there’s no guaranteeing that it will work out on the field—a reality that the players are preparing for.

Perhaps the most significant offseason acquisition in 2017 was wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Marshall has a resume that could get him into the Hall of Fame, and New York had a need for a possession receiver with elite size.

In a recent post to his official Instagram account, Marshall displayed just how committed he is to learning the new offense.

Going to great lengths to learn the offense is the type of commitment that New York needs from Marshall.

FaceTime may be a commonly utilized application, but it’s encouraging to see Marshall putting it to use with his starting quarterback. It’s a sign of just how committed he is to ending his personal postseason drought.

It’s also a sign of how committed Marshall is to being more than just another big name to join the Giants via free agency.

With all-time production and a tremendous physical profile, Marshall will face high expectations during his first year in New York.

Marshall enters 2017 with career marks of 941 receptions, 12,061 receiving yards, and 82 receiving touchdowns. Despite playing with arguably the worst quarterback rotation in the NFL, he finished 2016 with 59 receptions for 788 yards and three touchdowns.

The question is: Will Marshall be able to rediscover to his high-level form with the Giants during the 2016 NFL regular season?

Brandon Marshall seems to have the prolific work ethic that the New York Giants need from a veteran at the wide receiver position.
