The Giants traded up in the third round to draft Fields with the 74th overall pick, bringing in young competition for veteran wideouts Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin. At 6-foot-4, 220, the rookie out of Notre Dame offers something different from his new teammates, relying on size and strength rather than speed. Fields nonetheless averaged 15.0 yards per catch across his college career at Virginia and Notre Dame, with his volume decreasing (36 catches) and efficiency rising (17.5 YPC) after he joined the Fighting Irish in 2025. A 4.61 40 at the 2026 Combine may have hurt his draft stock, but it at least grades as acceptable relative to his size, and Fields showed well in other workouts -- namely the vertical jump (38 inches) and cone drill (6.98 seconds). In New York, he'll hope to eventually become the No. 2 receiver opposite Malik Nabers, who is currently rehabbing an ACL tear.
