The last thing anyone expected the New York Giants to do when they scoured the waiver wire for help this week was to add a wide receiver. After all, they kept seven on the initial roster and cut fan favorite David Sills V, as well as some other seemingly useful players.
Yet, that is exactly what the Giants did on Wednesday. One of the players they claimed is 6-foot-6, 222-pound second-year wide receiver Collin Johnson. The 2020 fifth-round pick was somewhat surprisingly waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars after averaging 15.1 yards on 18 receptions as a rookie.
