The New York Giants reportedly agreed to a contract with longtime New England Patriots safety and special teamer Nate Ebner on Thursday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Ebner was a sixth-round pick of the Patriots in 2012 despite playing only two years of football at Ohio State because of his focus on rugby. Even while under contract with the Pats in 2016, Ebner was part of Team USA in rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The Giants are a logical fit for Ebner since new Giants head coach Joe Judge was a special teams assistant in New England from 2012-14 and the Patriots' special teams coordinator from 2015-19.
