New York Giants rookie WR Sterling Shepard appears to be an ‘instant-impact player’ and was one of the receivers to impress the team during the spring. WR Darius Powe and WR Roger Lewis – a pair of undrafted rookie free agents from California and Bowling Green, respectively – have also caught the coaching staff’s eye as well.
Footballguys View: Shepard is basically unobstructed for the #2 job with Victor Cruz still struggling to show that he is even healthy enough to make the team. That leaves Dwayne Harris as the only other experienced receiver on the roster, with second-year UDFA Geremy Davis also in the mix. Powe has terrific measureables at 6’3″ 220 with 4.49 speed and top-end quickness metrics, and Lewis is a long-striding deep ball receiver who fell out of the draft more on character concerns than talent deficiencies.
