3 biggest winners from first week of NY Giants training camp

2) Sterling Shepard – WR

For much of the offseason there was some uncertainty over Shepard’s role and hierarchy in Daniel Jones’ target-share following the arrival of Kenny Golladay.

At least through one week of practice, Shepard remains one of Jones’ favorite targets.

As Jones and Golladay have struggled mightily to get into any sort of rhythm in practice, Shepard continues to be a frequent target of Jones from the slot. It is entirely possible that during some of these practices, the NY Giants were simply working on bubble-screens or packages of plays that target Shepard, but the contrast between how often Jones has looked Shepard’s way compared to Golladay has been stark.

If this week is any indication, it would seem Shepard remains on track to play a vital role in the NY Giants’ passing game and could quickly develop into Jones’ security blanket.
