Giants taking a look at Canadian quarterback
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said on Wednesday that the would not carry a quarterback on their practice squad, going with the three they have on the active roster — Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston.
That, though, is apparently not stopping them from assessing their options. The Giants are reportedly working out Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma on Thursday.
Elgersma, a 6-foot-3, 227-pound 23-year-old, was reportedly the first Canadian quarterback ever invited to the Senior Bowl after winning the Hec Crighton Trophy, Canada’s equivalent to the Heisman Trophy, in 2024 while leading Wilfrid Laurier University to a Vanier Cup appearance. The Vanier Cup is the trophy awarded to the team that wins the Canadian college football championship.
Elgersma went undrafted, but signed with the Green Bay Packers after a rookie minicamp tryout. He completed 16 of 23 passes for 166 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions during the preseason with the Packers, recording a 104.6 QB rating.
