EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Getting a chance to watch Taysom Hill do his thing as the New Orleans Saints’ multi-faceted third-string quarterback was enough to convince coach Pat Shurmur the New York Giants needed someone who could do that all this season.
Shurmur may a found a possible solution in Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey, who was not drafted last week.
The Giants signed Dungey to their 90-man roster Thursday as draft picks and rookies reported for a short minicamp.
Having a Hill-type player is quickly becoming an NFL fad. The former BYU product was used as a runner, a passer, a receiver, a returner and a special teams’ guy this past season in helping the Saints reach the NFC title game.
