Every player, even the undrafted ones deserve a chance to start on an NFL team, in hopes of proving their worth in front of a national crowd. The brutal truth is that some rise to the occasion, but most squander in the face of adversity. The lucky few that survive are the players that emerge from the shadows of uncertainty and an expected failure.
Undrafted rookie cornerback and Saquon Barkley’s best friend, Grant Haley, is one of those forgotten players that earned himself a chance on the New York Giants‘ active roster. At one point, the talented corner was waived from the team, simply being added to the practice squad where any side could go out and pluck him from the clutches of New York.
