New York Giants Possess NFL’s Fastest Offense

New York Giants, Saquon Barkley

In the NFL, speed kills. Luckily for the New York Giants, they have plenty of speed on offense.

The new-look New York Giants are heading into the 2020 NFL season with a new coaching staff. The roster, however, has stayed pretty much intact. The Giants rebuilt their offensive line this offseason but they did not add much to their skill positions. The offense, led by second-year quarterback Daniel Jones, will feature the likes of Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, and others who were on the roster in 2019.

Recently, NFL Network Analyst Daniel Jeremiah did a study on offenses in the NFL. Jeremiah took the 40-yard dash times for every team in the league and projected their lineup in 11 personnel (1RB, 1TE & 3WR) for the 2020 season. He then ranked each team’s offense by their average 40-yard dash times.

The New York Giants came out on top in this study with the fastest offense in the NFL, based on average 40-yard dash times. At 4.42s, New York was a few ticks ahead of the competition, even proving to be faster than Tyreek Hill and the dangerous Kansas City Chiefs offense.

The Giants’ 40-Yard Dash Times

There are some true speedsters on the Giants’ offense. Darius Slayton ran a 4.39s 40-yard dash, Golden Tate ran it in 4.42s, and Sterling Shepard’s 40 time was 4.48s. Saquon Barkley, of course, lit up the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. There he posted a 4.40s 40-yard dash time. The one player, however, that likely separates the Giants’ offense from the rest of the league is Evan Engram. Engram ran a ridiculously fast 4.42s 40-yard dash in 2017, the second-fastest time ever from a tight end.

It will be exciting to see the Giants’ offense get to work in 2020. They have the speed to burn defenses and, now, the offensive scheme to move the football with Jason Garrett. Daniel Jones has plenty of weapons to drop dimes to next season and he will for years to come.
