Eli Manning Sees Big Things For Sterling Shepard
6 years agoNew York Giants quarterback Eli Manning thinks wide receiver Sterling Shepard could be in for a breakout season in 2018. "I thought Sterling had a great camp during the spring," Manning told NJ Advance Media prior to the Gatorade Offense/Defense camp at Kean University on Tuesday. "He's understanding the coverages, understanding the route combinations, he understands zone and man, and how to make little moves to get open against different techniques." Shepard is entering his third season and has caught 124 of 189 targets for 1,414 yards and 10 touchdowns in his two season. He might've had his breakout last year if not for an injury in Week 11. The return of Odell Beckham Jr. might hurt Shepard a little, but he still has breakout potential in an offense that could put up big numbers.
