Darren Waller has yet to announce whether he will retire or return for another season. However, I am particularly excited to see how the Giants will utilize fourth-round rookie tight end Theo Johnson. Standing at an impressive 6-foot-6 and weighing 260 pounds, Johnson showcased his athleticism by ranking in the 90th percentile across multiple metrics — including the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, and long jump. His remarkable athletic profile makes him a significant asset for the Giants’ offense. Even if Waller remains on the team, Johnson’s ability to stretch the field vertically and create mismatches could greatly enhance the Giants’ offensive strategy, adding unpredictability and excitement to their gameplay.

Theo Johnson’s Inspiring Journey: From Adversity to NFL Rookie | New York Post

Today, the Giants’ 6-foot-6, 259-pound rookie tight end, Theo Johnson, is poised to make an impact after being selected in the fourth round. As he prepares for the possibility of taking on a larger role, especially if Darren Waller retires, it’s essential to recognize the challenges he has overcome. At just seven years old, Theo was a survivor of abuse and had to navigate a difficult childhood. He commemorated his journey and the people who helped him on Mother’s Day, highlighting the strength and resilience that have shaped him into the player he is today.

Tracy possesses a unique blend of rushing potential, receiving skills, and athleticism, giving him the rare capacity to become a playmaker for the Giants right from the outset. If he performs well during training camp, Tracy could position himself as a candidate for multiple significant plays each week. However, it may take another year or two before he is ready to assume a leading role in the competitive landscape of New York football.

Malik Nabers: The Next Star Wide Receiver for the Giants? | FOX Sports

The Giants have faced challenges over the years in finding a true No. 1 receiver to fill the void left by Odell Beckham Jr. Despite unsuccessful attempts in free agency and the draft, they believe Malik Nabers, standing at 6 feet and 200 pounds, is a standout prospect. His potential to rejuvenate their stagnant offense is immense, and he may even be the key to unlocking the full potential of their franchise quarterback. For the Giants, Nabers represents more than just another talented player; he symbolizes hope for a brighter offensive future.

With the arrival of Malik Nabers, the Giants gain a dynamic receiver capable of creating explosive plays from anywhere on the field. Much like the prime version of Beckham, Nabers can turn a simple slant into a touchdown or use his speed to break free downfield. Last season, he spent a significant amount of time in the slot, aligning with the Giants’ strategy of acquiring slot-first players. However, his impressive 78th-percentile success rate against press coverage, according to Reception Perception, suggests that he has what it takes to excel on the outside as well.

Connor Hughes highlights one of the significant storylines leading into the 2025 season: Who will take charge of play-calling this year?

During my conversations at the Senior Bowl, it became clear that the Giants preferred Mike Kafka to call the plays, allowing Daboll to focus on the overall operation. Fast forward to the NFL’s annual meeting, and Daboll expressed a markedly different perspective.

Daboll typically embraces the opportunity to remain tight-lipped when surrounded by reporters and cameras. However, the topic of play-calling brought forth a quick response. He sounded like a coach eager to run the offense himself in the upcoming season, indicating a shift in strategy.
