One of the major stories of the New York Giants preseason has been the surprising potential shown by Jordon Riley, a defensive tackle surprisingly chosen by the team in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
On Monday, assistant general manager Brandon Brown described how the Giants came to be convinced Riley — a player seemingly on no one else’s radar — was a player they wanted to work with.
“I can’t mention Jordon Riley without mentioning (assistant director of player personnel) Dennis Hickey and (director of player personnel) Tim McDonnell. They were driving forces in terms of the process of Jordon,” Brown said.
