WR – Kenny Golladay

Golladay was the NY Giants’ marquee offseason addition, and figures to play a vital role both in shepherding quarterback Daniel Jones’ next step in his development and helping New York breakthrough to the NFL Playoffs.

However, Golladay is coming off an injury-riddled 2020 campaign where he was limited to just five games last season do to a hamstring injury and hip flexor.

Golladay arrives in East Rutherford two years removed from finishing as the NFL’s leading receiver, and that is the level of production the NY Giants are betting $45 million guaranteed on over at least the next four seasons.

If Golladay returns to form, not only should he help Jones take his game to new heights, but his presence should open up space for Barkley, fellow receivers Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, and Kadarius Toney, along with Evan Engram to operate.
