The New York Giants recently revisited familiar faces while also welcoming two fresh talents into their fold during a tryout session. Among the new signees are a couple of athletes who may not yet be household names.
Tyler Moore, an undrafted rookie tight end who hails from Iowa State, made an impression during his college career with 21 receptions totaling 245 yards and scoring two touchdowns over the span of four seasons. Joining him is defensive tackle Marlon Davidson. Both players are expected to accompany the Giants as the team heads from East Rutherford to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia for the initiation of their training camp on Tuesday.
At 28 years old, Davidson brings experience with him, having participated in 25 NFL games since being drafted in the second round in 2020. His most recent appearance was with the Houston Texans last season. Davidson’s addition comes as a replacement for C.J. Ravenell, a defensive tackle who was recently released due to a non-football-related injury.
On the workout front, a total of 18 players showcased their skills. Among them was Kenneth Murray, a linebacker who has formerly played for the Chargers, Titans, and Cowboys, originally picked in the first round.
Other noteworthy contenders making appearances included quarterback Jake Haener and defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi, each adding intrigue to the mix of prospects tested by the Giants.
Haener played in eight games, including one against the Giants, with one start for the Saints in 2024. He was a 2023 fourth-round pick.
Fatukasi, a Far Rockaway native, spent four seasons (2018-21) with the Jets before leaving for a three-year, $30 million free-agent contract with the Jaguars. He also played for the Texans.
