3.) Derrick Dillon
One unit the Giants have struggled to find a consistent threat at is kick returner. Utilizing Jabrill peppers or Saquon Barkley in that role is inadvisable, considering Peppers suffered a season-ending surgery on a punt return last year. However, the Giants landed Derrick Dillon out of LSU as a UDFA. Last year, he caught 15 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns. The small receiver has elite speed, clocking in at 4.29 in the 40-yard dash.
Dillon’s skills are quite limited to short-area quickness and pure straightaway speed, which could indicate him developing into a solid kick returner. With plenty of competition ahead of him at wide receiver, Dillon’s best bet will be to leave his mark on special teams, and I believe his speed and lateral ability give him the skill-set to do so.
