New York Giants players were off on Saturday, so it provided the team an opportunity to check in on some free agents who could potentially be added to the roster.
Among those players was veteran cornerback Ross Cockrell, who is expected to be signed once he passes his physical and is tested for COVID-19.
However, Cockrell wasn’t the only player getting a look from the Giants on Saturday. Additionally, wide receiver Cody White and offensive tackle Jackson Dennis were listed as having made “visits” on the NFL’s transaction wire.

White, who went undrafted out of Michigan State back in April, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs shortly after the draft, but was waived in late July as the team trimmed their roster to 80.
The 6-foot-3 White gambled by leaving college a year early and it obviously didn’t pay off, but the 6-foot-3 receiver who was highly recruited out of High School will certainly get some additional looks this year. His size is enough to intrigue NFL teams, but his 4.66 40-yard dash time may scare some teams off.
Dennis, meanwhile, signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in April, but was waived in late July when the team made necessary roster cuts.
The 6-foot-6, 308-pound Dennis was a solid contributor at Holy Cross, appearing in 40 games with 24 starts over the course of his college career. In 2019, he made 12 starts at right tackle and was considered one of the team’s most consistent players.
