Darius Slayton Catches Long Bomb Saturday

Darius Slayton Catches Long Bomb Saturday

3 months ago

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught all three of his targets for 59 yards in Saturday's 28-10 loss to the Houston Texans. The veteran wideout led all Giants starters in receiving yardage this week and nearly caught a long touchdown up the left sideline that ended in a 44-yard gain down to the Houston 1-yard line. It was a vintage performance from Slayton, who is listed as the third wide receiver on New York's depth chart behind Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie Malik Nabers. He should be afforded better looks this year now that Nabers is presumed to draw the more difficult defensive matchup every week. Additionally, the revamped Giants offensive line had a good showing and kept quarterback Daniel Jones clean. A clean pocket could do wonders for the G-Men this season. Slayton and the rest of the wide receiver room would stand to benefit from that. He and the rest of the first-team offense will get their last taste of preseason action next Saturday when the Giants take on the New York Jets.
