EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – There was a time last year when the New York Giants didn’t have a clue who would emerge as their No. 1 receiver in the post-Plaxico Burress era.
Steve Smith ended the speculation in a major way, setting a franchise record with 107 catches last season.
Opponents though are finding out there’s more to the receiving corps than Smith. The Giants now have a three-headed weapon at the wide-out spot with third-year pro Mario Manningham and second-year pro Hakeem Nicks giving them plenty to worry about.
Just this past weekend, Nicks scored on three of his four receptions, while Manningham had four catches for 85 yards, including three for at least 21 yards.
