The New York Giants are setting their sights on a promising talent from North Dakota State: wide receiver RaJa Nelson. During NDSU’s Pro Day on March 19, the Giants took the opportunity to have a conversation with Nelson, signaling their interest in the dynamic receiver.
Nelson put up impressive numbers in 2025, racking up 404 receiving yards and four touchdowns. His average of 14.4 yards per catch showcases his ability to stretch the field and make big plays.
On top of his receiving prowess, Nelson also made his mark in the return game, amassing 168 kick return yards on just eight attempts. This versatility makes him an intriguing option for any team looking to bolster its offensive and special teams units.
The Giants are in need of a spark at the receiver position after losing Wan’Dale Robinson to the Tennessee Titans in free agency. Robinson was a key component of New York’s offense last season, leading the team with 1,014 receiving yards. His departure leaves a significant gap, especially with the Giants missing one of their two 1,000-yard receivers as they prepare for the upcoming season.
With less than five weeks until the draft kicks off on April 23, the Giants are doing their homework on Nelson. His potential to fill multiple roles could make him a valuable asset as they look to retool their receiving corps and maintain offensive momentum. Keep an eye on this situation as the draft approaches, as Nelson could be a name to watch for Giants fans eagerly anticipating the next wave of talent.
