Film study: How WR Collin Johnson can help the Giants

The New York Giants approached this offseason with a clear plan: “How can we help Daniel Jones?”

Could a waiver-wire claim be the next step in that process?

As all 32 NFL teams trimmed their rosters down to 53 players this week, Collin Johnson was one of the odd men out in Jacksonville. The former Texas wide receiver, drafted in the fifth round by the Jaguars a season ago, was let go by the organization this week. Perhaps that was not a shock, given the depth in the Jacksonville receiving room. The Jaguars added Marvin Jones and Jamal Agnew to the roster during free agency during the spring, and with the addition of Tavon Austin this summer via free agency, Johnson fell victim to a numbers game.
