One of the sights NY Giants‘ fans have been patiently waiting to see has finally come to fruition – Kenny Golladay on the team’s practice field, catching passes from Daniel Jones.
It may have taken a little longer than usual to get the receiver signed, old fashioned free agency visit the culprit for that – but it was worth the wait. As Jones enters a pivotal season for his career, having a talent like Golladay could catapult him to a new level.

Jones and his new target have been spotted getting work in together before, but this was the first time they did it in East Rutherford. They both look like they were born to be making plays in those beautiful blue Giants’ uniforms.

The two haven’t just been bonding over football – they were spotted together at Madison Square Garden checking out a New York Knicks game earlier in April.

Even though the Knicks were eliminated from the playoffs earlier this week, Jones, Golladay and the entire Giants’ roster can learn a thing or two from their neighbors. They were counted out at every turn – blowing fans and analysts alike away when they made the playoffs after widely predicted to be the worst team in the league.
With Golladay in the fold, Jones could be the Giants’ version of Julius Randle – a player who finally realizes his potential, and becomes a force in the league. Perhaps some of that magic that the Knicks possessed this year can take the train from Penn Station, down to New Jersey.
NY Giants OTA observations: Kenny Golladay arrives, Kadarius Toney absent, more
The NY Giants continued OTAs Friday, as Kenny Golladay got his first chance to work with quarterback Daniel Jones.
The truth is, the magic is in the work – that’s something that the Giants’ Joe Judge and the Knicks’ Tom Thibodeau would agree on. That’s good news for the Giants, as Golladay and Jones have been putting in the work all off-season.
Videos of that work, like the one we saw today – will only help translate to highlights of beautiful touchdown connections between the pair when the season arrives.
