After losing a lot of receivers to injuries, the Giants were seeking for someone who could start right away. After working with Buffalo&#8217;s general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll for several years, Hodgins brought familiarity. Hodgins seized his once-in-a-lifetime chance and exploited it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In the gym with Isaiah Hodgins \ud83d\udcaa <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zA5sZg8hkT\">pic.twitter.com\/zA5sZg8hkT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; New York Giants (@Giants) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Giants\/status\/1693699491185201545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 21, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I\u2019m not the fastest blazer in the world, but I try to win with my route-running and my physicality \u2014 knowing that I have some gifts that other people don\u2019t,\u201d said Hodgins, who along with Darius Slayton remains a primary outside target for quarterback Daniel Jones. \u201cI try to work on top-of-the-route stuff, being deceptive and selling stuff with my eyes and shoulders, and having good hips.
