The New York Giants were awarded three players during the waiver claiming period on Wednesday: linebackers Justin Hilliard and Quincy Roche, and wide receiver Collin Johnson.
Hilliard (6’1″, 231) hails from Ohio State and was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as a UDFA in May after six years in the Buckeyes program.
Roche (6’3″, 245) was a sixth-round pick out of Miami by the Pittsburgh Steelers in this year’s NFL draft.
Johnson is a long receiver (6-foot-6, 222 pounds) who was a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had 18 receptions for 272 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie last season.
The Giants will have to make roster decisions on three players if they are planning on adding these three to their active rosters.
