The Giants' third-round pick also played 11 snaps, eight of which came on offense and three on special teams. Normally we use the phrase 'quicker than fast' to describe slot receivers — guys like Wes Welker or Victor Cruz spring to mind — but that might be a perfect description for Fields. He is not a fast receiver, but he is quicker than any receiver with his frame has a right to be.

Positive signalRole

Fields' quickness and frame versatility suggest developing slot receiver upside beyond third-round expectations.

Giants' third-round WR rookie played 11 snaps (8 offensive, 3 special teams) against the Dolphins. The source describes him as 'quicker than fast'—not a fast receiver in absolute terms, but quicker than any receiver with his frame should be, able to drop his hips and change direction without throttling down. The Giants deployed him as a power slot on occasion, showing versatility. Fields is developing understanding of how to use his frame to leverage defenders before cutting and uncovering, and is learning how his routes fit into larger passing concepts. He was also used on punt teams to rush the opposing punter.
