He was enjoying a solid season with the New York Giants, but midway through, he was forced to find a new landing spot.
Former Boise State cornerback Donte Deayon fought his way from undersized and undrafted to a place on the Giants’ 53-man roster the last two seasons. He spent 2016 on the team’s practice squad.
Deayon was released Oct. 16 and spent nearly two months without a job, but he found a place back on a practice squad — with a more successful team, the Los Angeles Rams.
On Sunday, he will be on the sideline as the Rams take on the Patriots in Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta, but won’t be playing.
