Giants sign defensive back Dravon Askew-Henry of XFL's Guardians, source confirms

Dravon Askew-Henry is moving from the NYG to the NYG.

That’s New York Guardians to New York Giants, by the way. The XFL to the NFL.

The Giants agreed to a two-year deal with the defensive back on Tuesday, a source confirmed after the NFL Network first reported the deal.

Askew-Henry is the latest XFL player to make the jump to the NFL after the league’s season was cut short by the spread of the coronavirus and players were allowed to switch leagues beginning Monday. He is the first defensive player to switch leagues.

The Guardians, like the Giants, played at MetLife Stadium.
