In the upcoming 2024 season, the New York Giants roster is a blend of talented players who are yet to meet expectations and those hoping for a breakout year. Among these players is Darius Slayton, a consistent performer for the Giants in his five years with the team. Despite not being highly touted as a rookie, Slayton has proven himself to be an invaluable asset to the team.
Recently named by NFL Media as the Giants’ most underappreciated player, Slayton plays a crucial role on the team as they look to improve their passing game. With his contract recently reworked to include added incentives, Slayton is determined to have a strong season and provide support for rookie receiver Malik Nabers.
Slayton has never surpassed 800 receiving yards in a season but has consistently contributed to the team’s offense with an average of 15.1 yards per catch throughout his career. As quarterback Daniel Jones enters a critical season, Slayton can offer stability and create opportunities for the team’s younger players to shine.
After holding out briefly during offseason workouts, Slayton has returned with a restructured contract that includes additional incentives. This season will be crucial for Slayton as he aims to continue his consistent performance and help lead the Giants towards success on the field.
