2023 continues to be ongoing — for 4 groups, anyhow — however the remainder of the NFL is making ready for the upcoming 2024 season.
Professional Soccer Focus is staying forward of the curve by figuring out one early breakout participant for every of the 32 NFL groups for 2024.
For the New York Giants, PFF’s Jonathan Macri selected third-year huge receiver Wan’Dale Robinson.
After tearing his ACL in his rookie season, Robinson returned as a extra secure a part of the Giants offense in 2023. His 76 targets tied for the group lead with Darius Slayton regardless of showing in two fewer video games, and he completed with the fourth-highest catch fee (78.9%) among the many league’s huge receivers (min. 20% of targets). The Giants presently have 5 pending free brokers on the place heading into the 2024 offseason, which might enable Robinson to contribute even additional in 12 months 3.
All true. Robinson appeared to be the Giants’ go-to man after tight finish Darren Waller went out with a hamstring harm. Why they’re choosing Robinson to be a ‘breakout’ participant when his function seems to be a short-to-medium yardage choice (his YPR common was simply 8.8 in 2023 and scored only one landing) may very well be a stretch.
Though Macri does make a number of good factors in regards to the Giants’ 2024 huge receiver room, they don’t really don’t have 5 impending free brokers.
Parris Campbell isn’t returning, Sterling Shepard might probably retire, Gunner Olszewski is principally a returner and Isaiah Hodgins is restricted.
The depth chart could have Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, and Robinson penciled in as starters with Bryce Ford-Wheaton and just lately signed Chase Cota behind them.
Many anticipate the Giants to pick a large receiver early within the draft, probably within the first spherical, so Robinson may very well see his targets decreased in 2024, particularly if Waller stays wholesome for the whole season.
