Darren Waller's abrupt retirement has left the Giants scrambling at tight end, turning to third-year San Diego State TE Daniel Bellinger to lead the group heading into the season. Bellinger compiled just 771 yards and scored five touchdowns over four collegiate seasons in the Mountain West Conference, then followed that up with two uninspiring professional seasons with the Giants.
He does possess impressive athleticism that could suggest untapped potential, but we haven't seen it manifest on the football field yet. As such, Bellinger is not draftable in most formats, especially given that his role as the team's top tight end is not secure.
Rookie Theo Johnson is an even more impressive size/speed specimen. While he didn't do much in terms of receptions or yardage during his four years at Penn State, he did manage to score seven touchdowns on just 34 receptions in his final collegiate season. Johnson is an extremely raw prospect who is unlikely to get much playing time early in the season, but he could end up supplanting Bellinger if he starts to flash big-play ability in the opportunities he does get.

Giants TE Darren Waller calls it a career
Age 31
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Jun 9, 4:25 pm
|  | The Giants have been informed that TE Darren Waller is retiring, per sources. This is was what they had been planning to be the end result.
Team statement: “We have great respect for Darren as a person and player. We wish him nothing but the best.” (Jordan Raanan on X)
FFToday's Take: Waller would've earned $10 million this season but instead will call it a career. This leaves the Giants with Daniel Bellinger as their starting tight end along with Lawrence Cager and rookie Theo Johnson at the position. Waller was a key component of their offense last season which is likely be focused on rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers moving forward.
