The Giants are expected to pursue Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs wider receiver Demarcus Robinson when free agency begins, an individual with knowledge of the situation tells NJ Advance Media.

Robinson is set to hit free agency for the first time after setting career-highs with 32 catches for 449 yards and four touchdowns last season.

While Robinson lacks the high-end speed that Darius Slayton injected into the Giants’ offense as a rookie in 2019, he offers the versatility of being able to make plays lined up out wide or in the slot. Still, when asked to run the nine-route, Robinson produced in a big way for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, while averaging 14 yards per reception.

Robinson also could add veteran leadership that the young offense led by second-year quarterback Daniel Jones desperately needs.

Not to mention, with just four years in the league, his production has increased each season despite a supporting cast around him which offers more speed and playmaking ability than even the Giants currently field. At age 25, Robinson could be in the position to be both a leader in the Giants’ receiving room and an ascending playmaker who can fit right into the culture new head coach Joe Judge is trying to build.

As the Giants continue to build out an offense around Jones, Slayton, running back Saquon Barkley, wide receiver Sterling Shepard and tight end Evan Engram, Robinson’s reliable hands and ability to move the chains (with 19 of 32 receptions producing first downs) could prove to be assets.
