The Facts:
HC Tom Coughlin was reluctant to answer a question about which players impressed on the first day of rookie workouts, but he did mention one by name. “I was very impressed by Randle out on the field this morning,” the coach said.

Backup QB Ryan Perrilloux, who loves the combination of ability and size (6-3, 210) Randle provides, was also impressed. OC Kevin Gilbride said Randle was “thinking” about his assignments, as all rookies are at this point, so he doesn’t quite have that burst. But if he’s going to contribute, particularly as a replacement for Mario Manningham, he must find it. “What you see on film, it looks like we have a receiver that is capable of making some deep catches, running by some people,” Gilbride said. “As you guys have seen us unfold with those other two guys (Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz), they’re intermediate (threats) and certainly Hakeem can go deep. But you need that third component so that when people start skewing over and clamping down on Cruz and Nicks, you’ve got a guy who, if he gets 1-on-1, has the ability to get over the top and hurt people like Manningham did.” Perrilloux, who played with Randle at LSU, said he’ll be telling Eli Manning that Randle is capable of being such a threat. “Real good in and out of breaks,” Perrilloux said of Randle. “He’s just that kind of guy a quarterback can rely on because he has all that athletic ability you need so when you get in trouble you can never go wrong just throwing it his way.”
