Kenny Golladay: We Can Be Really Special
Expect the Giants to be a slow burner this year, that’s the advice of new landmark receiver Kenny Golladay.
Kenny Golladay is New York’s biggest offseason signing. However, he has been recovering from a hamstring injury. He practiced for the first time in nearly a month on Thursday.
Similarly with superstar Saquon Barkley, who missed almost all of the 2020 NFL regular season. He has been eased back into action as gently as possible, and with good reason. Barkley, along with Golladay and Daniel Jones, has the potential to play elite football this year.
Kenny Golladay sees the potential, but doubts it will be realised right away.

“I mean, I’m excited. When I look in the huddle and see all those guys, it’s very exciting,” Golladay said Thursday. “But people have been in and out of the lineup, so we’re going to be a little probably slow to get off. But we’ve got some workers on this team and I feel like if we put the work in, I feel like we can be really special.”
Meanwhile, Barkley is taking his rehab as it comes. The noise coming out of New York suggests he’s far from back to his best.

“We did a normal practice safely, and just talked to the guys and (they) gave me some good shots,” Barkley said. “But it’s (about) route-running and running routes just to get me back in the flow of things.
“I had a run and I thought about it and I was like, ‘That’s kind of like the first time I’ve really carried the ball in that situation since the time I hurt my knee,'” Barkley added. “Still just taking it one day at a time.”
