The New York Giants have an uncanny ability to strike gold with undrafted free agents. The shining examples are Victor Cruz, who went undrafted in 2010 and set franchise records as a receiver, and Emlen Tunnell, who went undrafted in 1948 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1967.
As the 2017 NFL regular season nears, a third former undrafted free agent will have an opportunity to solidify his place as a member of the organization.
New York entered 2017 under the impression that Darian Thompson would work alongside Landon Collins at safety. Unfortunately, Thompson, a 2016 third-round draft pick, suffered an injury just two games into his promising career.
