NY Giants Swap Up for Malachi Fields, Secures Top Recruit
The New York Giants swapped up in the draft for Malachi Fields, a highly recruited receiver who could be an immediate impact player on Jaxon Dart's team.
The New York Giants took Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields with their third-round selection in this year's NFL draft on Friday. The 6-foot-4, 223-pounder is a highly touted route runner who could immediately become one of Jaxon Dart’s go-to weapons next season. Known for his impressive college production, Fields had 630 yards and five touchdowns last season and was seen as the top remaining receiver available when the Giants took him with the No.
74 pick. The Giants made a trade to move up in the draft by sending three picks to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the 74th overall selection, securing Fields ahead of the Miami Dolphins’ No. 75 choice on Caleb Douglas, who was criticized by multiple sources before the draft.
This news marks the first time Malachi Fields entered the NFL as a rookie and he’ll look to build off his college performances this season. The Giants are now poised for a strong start as their young talent continues to develop.
