Parris Campbell spent each of the first four years of his career with the Colts, but broke out in a big way during the 2023 NFL season. He recorded more receptions, yards, and touchdowns in 2023 than he did in the previous three seasons combined.
The breakout year likely led to the Giants signing Parris Campbell to help boost their offense. They entered the 2023 NFL offseason in desparate need of weapons in the passing game, especially after signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a new contract as well.
Parris Campbell adds a much-needed receiving option for Daniel Jones in the Giants' offense
The New York Giants averaged just 185.7 passing yards per game during the 2022 NFL season, the seventh-fewest among all teams. Their passing offense represents one of their biggest weaknesses, despite making an appearance in the NFL Playoffs last year.
They made it clear that they are looking to improve on this situation during the 2023 NFL offseason.
The Giants moved on from Kenny Golladay, a disastrous acquisition that failed to provide them with a potential number-one receiving option. They began upgrading their offensive weapons by acquiring Darren Waller via trade with the Las Vegas Raiders and followed that up by adding Parris Campbell during the free agency period.
After signing Daniel Jones to a brand new four-year contract, the organization is making a conscious effort to surround their franchise quarterback with a more favorable situation.
He recorded the best season of his career in his first year with new head coach Brian Daboll and will look to take another step forward in the 2023 NFL season.
