New York Giants’ Darius Slayton credits his older teammates for his productive rookie campaign

In 2019, Darius Slayton was a bright spot in what was another disappointing campaign for the New York Giants. The rookie wideout, who the team selected in the fifth round of last April’s draft, proved to be an effective target for rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

Overall, the Auburn product caught 48 balls for 740 yards and eight touchdowns through 14 games. Slayton led the team in both receiving yards and touchdowns, showing exactly what he’s capable of when he steps onto the field.

But when it comes to success, Slayton portrays unselfishness, ultimately providing credit to some of his older counterparts.
