Giants

After signing a new four-year, $41 million extension, Giants WR Sterling Shepard says he’s ready to lead the team’s receiving corps. 

“I’m ready,” Shepard said, via Giants.com. “With Odell going down the last two seasons (with injuries), that time definitely helped me get a grasp of what being a leader is all about, and being that lead guy in the room. I think it prepared me for this moment. I was pretty vocal anyway. I’m a pretty vocal guy. That will be no problem.”

“We have no shortage of talent,” Shepard added. “Those guys are ballers and they can get the job done. When they’re put in that position, they’re always going to execute. I have all the trust in those guys. I feel we’re going to pick up right where we left off. The last five games were the best games we played in the season. We just have to fine-tune some little things. Once we do that, we’ll be fine.”

• Jordan Raanan believes the Giants have Drew Lock as their top quarterback prospect, not including Kyler Murray.
