Domenik Hixon

With Plax being released, the Giants need a replacement. They need a legitimate number one receiver, for not just this season, but for seasons to come. We’ll go in depth as to what the loss of Plax means, and what they can do to fill the void. The really great thing about Burress is his size/speed combination. He consistently commands double teams.
