The unheralded Giants receivers mirror their quarterback, Daniel Jones.
, who caught 128 passes for 1,809 yards and eight touchdowns this season. By comparison, Slayton, James and Hodgins combined to catch 136 passes for 1,644 yards and 10 touchdowns.Jones has been a revelation under the brilliant watch of Giants head coach Brian Daboll, so the critics have somewhat come around on him as the team stunned prognosticators with their run to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.
Slayton, who leads the team with 724 receiving yards, was asked what he sees as the common thread between him, Hodgins and James — who leads the team with 57 receptions, which is 19 more than he entered the season with in his previous three seasons in San Francisco. Regarding the national disrespect toward the receivers and Jones, James said, “My feeling is those people don’t watch tape. Anybody’s that’s talking like that, I don’t think they’re watching tape. You see this guy [Jones] make play in and play out. And we are open, so … ’’“A couple months ago, I was on the active roster [in Buffalo] and got cut and that day I was just sitting there kind of wondering what my future was going to be,’’ he said.
