00:00At the start of the spring in OTAs, we had zero clue who the Giants wide receiver to was going
00:06to
00:07be opposite of Malik Nabors. But now, going into preseason game number two, third round pick Malachi
00:14Fields is making a strong case that he can take that job by possibly week one. 6'4", 220 with
00:22max
00:23catch radius. He gives Jackson Dart in this past game a different skill set than anyone else in
00:29that wide receiver room. Look, Malik Nabors, we all can agree, he's the clear number one. But Fields
00:35has started to make strides towards claiming that number two role. And I know vets like Darius Slate
00:41and Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin, they have the inside track on the complimentary wide receiver two
00:48type role. But there's a lot of people starting to take notice and this kid is starting to force his
00:54way into that conversation as a rookie. It is not just his big frame and his ability to go up
01:01and get
01:01the football. People around the organization view his hands as very reliable. Plus, he has an added
01:08value as a run blocker. John Harbaugh wants his offense to have a run first identity. And the
01:15Fields pick shows that he wanted to inject size and physical nastiness into the new look offense. The more
01:22he makes plays, the more he makes the case for that starting spot. Can you, the rookie, Malachi Fields,
01:29go out and take a spot that was designated for a vet? You've got our attention.
