Fullback Elijhaa Penny will not be returning to the New York Giants in 2022. A free agent, Penny himself confirmed recent speculation that he would need to find a new team to continue his NFL career.
Penny spent four seasons with the Giants after they signed him off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad in 2018. He played in 61 games with the Giants.
In 2021, he had career highs in carries (24), yards rushing (99) and receptions (9). Penny was also a valuable special teams player for the Giants during the head-coaching tenures of both Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge.
