Despite New Faces, Eli Manning Remains the Key to the New York Giants Super Bowl Aspirations
Brandon Marshall gives Manning a Huge Target
The Giants and veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall agreed to a two-year/ 12 million dollar deal. Inking Marshall helps gives the Giants a big target at receiver which they haven’t had since Plaxico Burress back in 2008. Standing at 6-foot-4, Marshall helps give Manning a big target to go along with prodigy receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
While he’s coming off a down year, Marshall is just a year removed from a 1,502 yard and career high 14 touchdown season. The elite wideout is still in him.
However, while the Giants offensive line and weapons at wide receiver will be vastly improved, the biggest factor to the Giants success remains Eli Manning.
