I keep watching the play where he ran past 4 players closed like a 15 yard gap and Tackled the player before he got to our 20 yard line.. His bio says he ran a 4.5 40 but he sure and hell looked faster that that last night.
Then the special teams play where he ran down the field knocked the ball out of the returners hands and was crawling trying to get to the ball... Love the effort!!!
He consistantly is beating his coverage, just not getting the ball... Shurmur had acknowledged last week after watching tape Zo consistantly is beating his coverage... Sorry to rant, but the kid impressed me..
6' 4"
Yes, he is 6'4 and he has chemistry with Daniel Jones in practice. I just don't know if he will make the team. They will likely carry 6 WR's, not counting Tate who is suspended, Shepard, Latimer, Slayton, Fowler, and TJ Jones are locks IMO. That leaves one spot for someone who excels on special teams which will likely be Russell Shepard. Hopefully Russell plays well enough on special teams to supplant Shepard because we all know that the Giants could use size at WR.
There will be some tough decisions to make at WR as Alonzo Russell, Reggie White Jr. and Alex Wesley have all flashed.

We could use some height. I know that people are down on our receivers but they seem to all make plays when they have the opportunity to. We may not have the top end talent but I really do like our depth. If we suffer an injury we shouldn't see a drop off like we did with Plax because of how close they are in talent.

It is certainly refreshing to know that the giants will have some tough decisions to make in getting the roster down to 53. In previous years we could pretty much sum up the players that would be cut (with a few surprises)

Slayton has to actually get reps to see if he is worth keeping around. I wonder if he gets IR designated to return tag if he is not fully healthy when the season starts. Brittan Golden has also flashed with his return ability and he did have one nice play as a WR yesterday. T.J. Jones I wonder if there is a spot for him if he is not our best returner. He fills a similar role to Fowler, Latimer, and Russell Shepard. Don't get me wrong, he has been by far the most productive WR this preseason between him, Russell, Golden, and the UDFA's, but is he someone you can afford on your 53 man roster?
(No thumb jokes, please ;) )
He's 6'4" and blazing fast.
He's looked good in practice and it's carried over into the games.

He has returned to practice so he won't be put on IR unless he suffers a setback. The coaches were high on him during OTA's so I would be absolutely shocked if he doesn't make the roster especially since he is the only real deep threat on the roster.
I can't see Gettleman cutting bait with a 5th round pick this early especially one who has been praised by the coaches for his performance in practice.
Watching that play last night made me realize, he isn’t making it to our practice squad. If he gets cut, someone will pick him up. If that’s how he’s going to approach the game, I’m 100% rooting for him to make the roster. It should also be noted that Reggie White Jr. was standing in the end zone complaining rather than chasing the ball carrier. So Russell clearly leapfrogged his competition on that play just by effort.
A journeyman. Nothing special. 27-years old, never caught a pass in an NFL game. Still, 6-4, 206, a 4.54 at the Combine, there are some tools a good coach can work with. By some accounts - and it may be impolitc of me to say this but I'll say it anyway - he's neither the toughest nor the sharpest tool in the shed. Tolbert has said that he's going to have to make his bones on Special Teams, which is understandable. I hope he can. I hope he's one of those "late bloomers," again, justifying the faith the Giants showed in him by keeping him around and giving him another shot.
In all likelihood he'll never be a star, but if he sticks, if he can contribute on Special Teams and make the most of however many pass-catching opportunities come his way, he could carve out his own little niche as a valued role-player. Which would be nice.
He can at least run which is more than can be said for the rest of the offense outside of Barkley
He’s making the team. Tate is missing 4 games. Jones can play all wr positions shows the ability to get open and yac. He’s been a good player just one that could not remain healthy.
Great post except for the fact that Randle is 6'2.
On that play, he looked like he ran a 3.5.
