Can’t teach tall. 

But you can use it to your advantage. 

That is precisely what the Giants did to notch their first touchdown in Saturday’s preseason opener. It was more than a modicum of improvisation by Jaxson Dart that got the whole wild play in motion and it was the physical attributes of Malachi Fields that punctuated Dart’s effort with points. 

Most teams need someone who is not widely expected to be a difference-maker to make a difference, at one point or another. It is way, way too early to know for sure if Fields will be that someone for the Giants. He is off to a strong start, though, and the entire offense’s identity as a bigger, more powerful unit can lean on what Fields brings to the field.
