Last month, New York Giants’ head coach Joe Judge told reporters that safety/special teamer Nate Ebner will play for Big Blue in 2021 despite the fact that he’s a free agent.
“We are proud to support Nate in his effort to earn a place on the United States National Rugby team,” Judge said. “This is the second time I have been with Nate while he tries to make the team to represent our country in the Olympics. We know that rugby has been an important part of Nate’s life since he was a young man, and Dave (Gettleman) and I both encouraged him to pursue this opportunity.
