4 NY Giants who impressed in the preseason win over Carolina

2. TE Darren Waller

Now, this may not come as a surprise, but Waller looked pretty damn dominant against the Panthers. Not only did he make some pretty impressive plays with the ball in his hands, but even just as a route runner he demanded so much attention that it opened things up for everyone else. For example, on Daniel Belinger's TD catch, Waller's route helped open up the underneath for Bellinger and created a ton of space for him to post an easy score.

Similar to Jones, Waller only played the first possession in this game, but it didn't take long at all for him to make his presence known. I mean this literally, as Waller caught the first two passes of the contest. By the time it was all said and done, Waller had three receptions for 30 yards.

While these may not be crazy numbers, it must be remembered that Waller played only eight snaps. We can only imagine the yards Waller will be racking up once he plays a full game in the regular season. This isn't even mentioning the impact he'll have on the offense when he isn't getting the ball.

New York has been without a receiving X-factor since Odell Beckham. While they've had some pretty solid pass catchers, it simply hasn't been the same without him. Now, after a masterful trade, the Giants have a player who will not only be a game-changer for the numbers he'll put up, but he'll open everything up for the rest of the Giants' offense too.
