It’s a combination that has left teammates, especially wide receiver Darius Slayton, in awe of the Pro Bowler. Slayton <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/28/darren-wallers-freak-ability-impressing-giants/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social">openly wondered</a> how anyone could actually tackle Waller while speaking to reporters at training camp, per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.</p><p>“A locomotive rolling real fast. Ain’t nobody tackling that, I think.”</p><p>“A locomotive” is a great way to describe Waller, who stands 6-foot-6 and weights 238 pounds but still has the wheels to run a 4.46 40-yard dash.</p><p>The Giants defense has indeed had quite a bit of trouble with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-darren-waller-dominating-training-camp-has-twitter-buzzing">Waller at training camp</a>, as safety Xavier McKinney called him “a tough cover every time”, per the Post.</p><p>After dealing with a slew of lower body injuries the past two years that limited him to just 20 games, Waller appears to finally be healthy.</p><p>And a healthy Waller was a nightmare for opposing defenses back in 2019 and 2020, as he tallied 90-plus receptions and over 1100 receiving yards in both of those seasons, emerging as one of the best vertical threats in the league at the tight end spot.</p><p>The Giants are hoping Waller can return to that form in 2023, as the offense, while loaded with depth at the receiver spots, lacks a true alpha pass-catcher for quarterback Daniel Jones to lean on.</p><p>At his best, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/darren-waller-fantasy-football-outlook-2023-nfl-season">Waller can be</a> that guy.

The reason for hesitation, however, should not be influenced by what other people do. Following the herd does can lead you into utter catastrophe. This is not a sermon but rather another way to interpret New York Giants’ Darius Slayton’s viewpoint on the Saquon Barkley contract saga.</p><p>The fifth-year wide receiver took to Twitter to address a comment made by SNY reporter Connor Hughes- which used <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-mixon-restructured-new-contract-details" rel="noopener">Joe Mixon’s new contract restructure</a> as a means to point out why the Giants have no incentive to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-giants-best-offer-saquon-barkley-too-low-guaranteed-money" rel="noopener">break the bank</a> for a running back. Slayton does not care about what the market says about the position, however, and is <a href="https://twitter.com/Young_Slay2/status/1680185001264988161" rel="noopener">looking at the issue</a> with only the G-Men and Barkley in mind.</p><p>“This is like not buying YOUR wife a wedding ring because 31 other men decided THEIR wife wasn’t worth it,” he tweeted.<br></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This is like not buying YOUR wife a wedding ring because 31 other men decided THEIR wife wasn’t worth it. <a href="https://t.co/vUcrJSvX5m">https://t.co/vUcrJSvX5m</a></p><p>— Darius Slayton (@Young_Slay2) <a href="https://twitter.com/Young_Slay2/status/1680185001264988161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 15, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Both men make interesting points that demand further reflection. Hughes is completely right from a business perspective. Mixon is taking a pay cut to stay with the Bengals and compete for a Super Bowl. No one has met Dalvin Cook’s high asking price as of yet. Austin Ekeler has scored a combined 38 touchdowns the last two seasons and Josh Jacobs was arguably the best pure runner in the NFL last year. Both are without long-term contract extensions.</p><p>Whether it be the opportunity to take a starting back in the draft or the durability issues that naturally result from the weekly grind, league demand seems lower than ever. To Slayton’s point, though, Saquon Barkley was a big part of New York’s resurgence. His 1,650 all-purpose yards and 10 touchdowns went a long way in propping up a limited offense and reaching the postseason.</p><p>And so, the standstill remains. Will general manager Joe Schoen fall in love with the player or continue to abide by the market rules? The debate between business practicality and fair compensation rages on, potentially through training camp.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have lacked a star wideout since trading Odell Beckham Jr. But in the eyes of Darius Slayton, that doesn’t mean that New York has entirely been without a high-level target.</p><p>Slayton, who was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-new-york-makes-big-darius-slayton-move-after-trade-rumors" rel="noopener">on the trade block</a> to start last season but stayed ready and had a solid campaign with New York, has never been seen as a WR1 during his four-year career but he <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/06/giants-darius-slayton-rejects-idea-hes-not-legit-no-1-receiver/" rel="noopener">does not worry about outside criticism</a>, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. The Giants wideout puts in work and knows what he’s capable of.</p><p>“I wouldn’t say it bothers me because everybody doesn’t know what I know,” Slayton said, via the New York Post. “Everybody is not in the Giants’ building. At the end of the day, you can only judge based on what you see from afar.”</p><p>Slayton has been decently productive for the Giants but is always seen as more of a role player. His frequent dropped passes shape that narrative but so too does the fact that he has never had so much as 800 receiving yards in a single season. In his eyes, that’s simply because he shares touches with other talented players, one of whom will be new acquisition Darren Waller.</p><p>“You see this guy go for 1,010 [yards] or see a guy go for 100 yards every week, and you go, ‘He’s really good,’” Slayton said, via the New York Post. “Some of these guys play with nobody. I play with Saquon [Barkley]. Where do you think the ball is going first? Not me. We had Shep, Evan Engram and now Darren.”</p><p>That comment is curious given that just about every star wideout plays with either another high-level pass-catcher or a great running back. Regardless, Slayton’s main goal is to help the Giants win, a goal that will be aided by Waller and other new additions to Daniel Jones’ <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-darius-slayton-strong-take-on-two-new-daniel-jones-weapons-will-hype-up-giants-fans" rel="noopener">collection of skill-player weapons</a>.</p><p>“I didn’t play with just a bunch of bums. That’s a little annoying because at the end of the day, it’s not like I’ve ever been the only person or one person to get the ball, whereas somebody [else] is,” Darius Slayton said, via the New York Post. “It is what it is.

Among such moves that he has completed, he brought in Jalin Hyatt and Darren Waller.</p><p>Schoen pulled off trades to haul in the two. He traded two picks to the Los Angeles Rams to acquire the No. 73 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft. Hyatt then became the 10th wideout to be selected in this year’s NFL Draft.</p><p>Hyatt took part in the Giants’ rookie minicamp schedule, and he has been a regular at their OTAs. The former Tennessee standout left a strong <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uxPp_EAyME" rel="noopener">first impression</a> on multiple Giants wide receivers, including Darius Slayton.</p><p>“And Hyatt obviously could fly,” Slayton said during a press conference at the Giants’ OTAs. “I could fly. You turn on the film, it’s a whole lot of flying. I mean, it’s fun to watch, fun to play with guys like that. … I hate to say speed, but he’s fast.</p><p>“Like I said, he can play. You can see the talent. Not just his speed. He has a little viral video of him telling the coach he can route run and stuff. I think he does route run well. He catches the ball well. I think just all the way around he’s a very talented player.”</p><p>The Giants acquired Waller from the Las Vegas Raiders in March in exchange for a third-round pick. As with Hyatt, Slayton has been left quite impressed with the veteran tight end.</p><p>“I kind of like try to stand away from him,” Slayton said. “You get a picture too close; it’s Slay is really small. So don’t get too close. But he’s impressive. I kind of just was telling someone, he’s like what it looks like. Somebody asks what’s an NFL tight end, you just point to Darren Waller; big, fast, can catch it. He’s been a great addition to our team.”</p><p>Waller featured in five seasons with the Raiders, where he tallied 286 receptions and 17 touchdown catches. He earned a Pro Bowl nod in the 2020 campaign.</p><p>The Giants’ OTAs schedule will continue on June 6.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He left in the third quarter due to an ankle injury, and was briefly replaced by Tyrod Taylor. On his first drive, Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion. That forced Jones to return to the game, and basically just hand the ball off to Saquon Barkley for the majority of the fourth quarter.</p><p>Saquon Barkley had a productive day with 146 yards on the ground, but he had a wild play on a broken screen, which some Giants fans are bringing up for a specific reason. That reason? Because Daniel Jones <a href="https://twitter.com/DannyClears/status/1633244026668187649?s=20" rel="noopener">made a key block</a> on Jaquan Brisker to spring Barkley for a first down.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">You couldn’t even get past his block LMFAOOO <a href="https://t.co/7avPWldKKM">pic.twitter.com/7avPWldKKM</a></p><p>— Josh🎄 (@DannyClears) <a href="https://twitter.com/DannyClears/status/1633244026668187649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 7, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Jones came and the Giants to an agreement on a four-year $160 million deal, which made many question why he was paid and Baltimore Ravens quarterback did not receive an extension. That is what Brisker referenced in his original Tweet.
