Giants to sign former Patriots special teamer Nate Ebner

Another free agent departure.

Special teams ace Nate Ebner is signing with the New York Giants in free agency, according to a league source. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported it first.

Ebner has been an elite special teams contributor with 95 career tackles. He also contributed in New England on goal-line situations as a safety. He is a converted rugby player from Ohio State, and he played for the U.S. rugby sevens olympic team. He has also won three Super Bowls since joining New England as a sixth-round pick in 2012.

Ebner will team back up with Giants coach Joe Judge, who was the specials teams coordinator from 2015 to 2019 with the Patriots.
