The New York Giants are making a running back signing to bolster their backfield ahead of the 2024 NFL season.

There will be more competition for carries where the team is concerned, as they are bringing Jacob Saylors in following his stellar season in the UFL.

Multiple sources are reporting that Saylors is signing with the team after working out with them last week, with his agent Ray Haija believed to have conveyed said information.

The 23-year-old finished his UFL campaign second in rushing yards with 460 on 94 carries, having played for the St. Louis Battlehawks this year. He added five rushing touchdowns and three receiving TDs in nine games.

Saylors also led all running backs in receiving yards and scores.

 

The RB went undrafted last year after playing at Tennessee State, where he rushed for 3,851 yards and 33 touchdowns in 51 games over five seasons.

He earned roster spots with the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons but has yet to play in the NFL.

The New York Giants Have Offered Jacob Saylors A Significant Opportunity

Saylors’ recent campaign with St. Louis proved the injury that led to the Falcons releasing him in January is no longer a problem and he will be looking to show how valuable he could be with the New York Giants.

Devin Singletary is expected to be the main back for the G-Men following Saquon Barkley’s exit in free agency. Eric Gray, Jashuan Corbin, and rookies Dante Miller and Tyrone Tracy Jr. also feature on the roster.

Still, Saylors has an opportunity to earn a shout for significant minutes next season as long as he can remain healthy.

New York Giants Rookie WR Malik Nabers Takes A Brutal Shot At The Team’s Hideous New Uniforms

New York Giants rookie Malik Nabers has ripped the team’s new throwback uniform, suggesting he wouldn’t want to be caught dead wearing it.

The former LSU wide receiver arrived in NY as the No. 6 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. But he doesn’t seem happy to be there.

He looked angry after touching down at the team’s facility last month and avoided speaking about Daniel Jones during his introductory press conference. The last thing the team would have wanted was to hear him diss their threads, but he had no qualms about doing so.

Still, they can’t blame him. They’re pretty awful.

Asked about the G-Men’s recently unveiled “Century Red” throwback unis, Nabers said it would be hard to look good in them.

“It’s gonna be hard to swag it out, that’s all I got to say about it,” the wideout told Sports Illustrated at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere.

The New York Giants Will Wear Their “Century Red” Uniforms For Two Games In 2024

The Giants launched the uniforms to commemorate their 100th season. As the name suggests, they are red, but they also feature a blue midsection with white borders and numbers. The pants are tan, with red socks bearing blue and white stripes completing the look.

Every Giants jersey will have a patch with the words “100 seasons” on the front. From 2004 to 2007, the team wore a red jersey once a year.

Fortunately for Nabers, he won’t have to wear these new ones more than twice next season.

Asked how he can make it look good, he replied, “I don’t know. I’ma have to see when I put it on.”

Following the draft, the wideout signed a four-year deal worth $29.2 million, including an $18.1 million signing bonus.

“When I put my name on that paper I was kind of shaking a little bit and I got emotional,” he said during the team’s rookie minicamp. “The job’s not done but another stage in my life was done. For me to make it to this part of my life and my journey, it was a pat on my back in that moment.”
