New York Giants: Darkhorse receiver shines in first preseason games

With the New York Giants starting the preseason without Sterling Shepard on the field due to a broken thumb, several other pass catcher received plenty of playing time and film to prove their worth.

While Shepherd likely would’ve only played the first series of the game, not having him listed as a starter put a question mark on the receiving corps. If one of the Giants’ top options goes down, they could be in big trouble.

However, the receivers had a fantastic game, but one, in particular, displayed excellent attributes and resiliency against the Jets.
