On Day 1 of the USFL Player Draft, a trio of former New York Giants had their names called: Quarterbacks Clayton Thorson, Kyle Lauletta and Case Cookus.
On Wednesday, the returning league conducted their second and final day of the player draft. And similar to the first, some former Giants were among those selected.
Running back Mike Weber, who had a cup of coffee with the Giants in 2021, was selected in the 27th round. He will play for the New Jersey Generals, whose first-round picks were announced by Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan.
Meanwhile, wide receiver Derrick Dillon, who was with the Giants from 2020-2021, was selected in the 15th round by the Tampa Bay Bandits. He will be joined by former Big Blue guard Damien Mama, who was selected in 23rd round.
Finally, safety Orion Stewart, who spent time with the Giants in 2018, was selected by the Michigan Panthers in Round 18.
It’s possible, if not likely, that other former Giants will find their way onto USFL rosters as team’s begin to sign undrafted free agents.
