Daniel Bellinger has become nearly invisible with diminishing Giants role: ‘Not up to me’
NY Post
CLEVELAND — Even with the Giants selecting Theo Johnson in the fourth round of the 2024 draft, and even with the signing of veteran Chris Manhertz, it figured that Daniel Bellinger would maintain a role as a tight end within the offense.
Why not?
Bellinger in his 29 games the past two seasons compiled 55 receptions and developed into an improving in-line blocker.
Johnson is a promising pass-catcher prospect, but he is a rookie, and Manhertz operates more like an offensive lineman than a tight end.
There was every reason to believe Bellinger would be a part of the game plan this season.
In the season-opening loss to the Vikings, Bellinger played 16 of the 71 snaps on offense.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
