The New York Giants held tryouts on Wednesday despite it being a travel day, and met with five different free agents.
Among those in attendance in East Rutherford were wide receiver Michael Walker and quarterback Kyle Sloter.
Walker, who was Second Team All-American and Second Team All-ACC in 2018, was originally signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Boston College in 2019.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Walker appeared in seven games last season, hauling in two receptions for 15 yards, while adding 411 yards on 18 kickoff returns.
Sloter (6-foot-5, 218 pounds) signed with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent rookie out of Northern Colorado in 2017. He’s also spent time with the Minnesota Vikings (2017-2018), Arizona Cardinals (2019) and Detroit Lions (2019). He has never appeared in an NFL game.
Also visiting the Giants were defensive backs Saquan Hampton and Jeremiah Dinson, as well as wide receiver Chris Lacy.
Hampton (6-foot-1, 206 pounds) is a New Jersey native who was born in Hamilton Township and attended Rutgers. He was a sixth-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in the 2019 NFL Draft and was released with an injury settlement in September. He’s appeared in five career games and recorded one tackle.
Dinson (5-foot-11, 189) went undrafted in April after leading Auburn in tackles in 2019, and has bounced around between the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions. He has yet to appear in an NFL game.
Lacy (6-foot-3, 205 pounds) originally signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Oklahoma State in 2018. He’s also spent time with the Detroit Lions (2018-2019). He has appeared in eight career games (two starts), hauling in three receptions for 60 yards and returning one kickoff for 23 yards.
