Giants host five veterans on tryout basis at rookie minicamp

The New York Giants invited five veterans to rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, including the brother of ex-Giant Paul Parkins.

The New York Giants are conducting rookie minicamp this weekend at their practice facility in East Rutherford. There are five veterans in the mix of draftees, UDFAs, invitees, and walk-ons.

Quarterback Bryce Perkins, a former Virginia star who spent the last three seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. He spent the first two seasons on the bench and did not take a snap until last year when he played in five games, making one start. He is the brother of former Giants running back Paul Perkins.

Cornerbacks Nigel Warrior and Iman Marshall are also in camp. They both have ties to defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.

Outside linebackers Jonathan Kongbo and Darryl Johnson have been brought in for a tryout as well. Kongbo has spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL.

Johnson was a former seven-round pick out of North Carolina A&T by the Buffalo Bills in 2019. He played two seasons in Buffalo before landing in Carolina and Seattle.
