The New York Giants signed four free agents off waivers to their active roster; four defensive backs and an offensive guard joined Big Blue. Jets’ safety Jason Pinnock was one of the new additions, and head coach Brian Daboll had an up close and personal look at the versatile defensive back at joint practices last week.
The Pitt alum was a fifth-round pick by the Jets in 2021. He played four years for the Pitt Panthers in Pat Narduzzi’s aggressive defensive scheme. Sound familiar? Pinnock played more than 1,500 snaps at both left and right cornerback in college, with 127 snaps in the slot; he only played one at safety.
