 3) Who emerges as Daniel Jones’ No. 2 option?

Kenny Golladay will be the NY Giants’ No. 1 wide receiver, and is the most gifted target Jones has worked with in his career.

That’s the reality of the NY Giants guaranteeing $45 million over the life of his deal to Golladay, and the former Detroit Lions star being two years removed from finishing as the NFL’s leading receiver.

So, as Jones and Golladay work on building chemistry and timing during their first training camp together over the next month, the battle for being second on Jones’ target hierarchy will be an interesting one to watch.

It has seemed like Darius Slayton has been a favorite of Jones over the past two seasons. Sterling Shepard is the NY Giants’ longest-tenured player. Rookie Kadarius Toney has significant upside. Who emerges behind Golladay at the receiver position is one of the more intriguing position battles to watch.
