Who is going to grab that No. 3 spot at wide receiver?

That question might be clearer after OTAs, training camp and preseason. The Giant’s brought in Cody Latimer from Denver, but Roger Lewis has been the one to impress this offseason so far. Giants.com reporter John Schmeelk noted during Tuesday’s OTAs that Davis Webb and Lewis connected on some impressive sideline passes.

That could bump Lewis into getting first-team reps at some point. Last season, he played in 15 games and started eight out of pure necessity. He was able to haul in 36 receptions for 416 yards and two touchdowns.

The addition of former Carolina Panthers receiver Russell Shepard adds more competition, but hopefully, that motivates Lewis to clean up some of the drop issues he had in 2017.
