New York Giants host tryout for wide receivers, quarterbacks

New York has a couple of roster spots to fill before Sunday

The New York Giants worked out four wide receivers and a pair of quarterbacks on Friday, according to the league’s transactions wire.

The wide receivers who worked out were:

  • Rakim Jarrett
  • Brandon Johnson
  • Samori Toure
  • Mike Woods

The quarterbacks who worked out were:

  • Seth Henigan
  • Tanner Mordecai

The Giants have two roster spots to fill with wide receiver Malik Nabers having gone on IR with a torn ACL and edge defender Tomon Fox having been waived.

Jarrett, a 6-foot, 192-pound 24-year-old out of Maryland, caught 13 passes over the last two seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after going undrafted. He was recently released from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad.

Johnson is a 6-2, 195-pound 27-year-old. He was a member of the Denver Broncos in 2022 and 2023, and was with the Steelers in 2024. Johnson has 26 career receptions, 19 of those in 2023 for Denver.

Toure, a 6-1, 195-pound 26-year-old, was a seventh-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2022. He caught 13 passes for the Packers in 2022 and 2023. He was released by the Chicago Bears at the end of the preseason.

Woods is a 6-1, 204-pound 25-year-old who was a sixth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2022. Woods was on Cleveland’s active roster in 2022 and 2024 and has 12 receptions in 15 career games.

If you are going to work out wide receiver you, of course, need quarterbacks to throw them the ball.

Henigan is a 22-year-old who played for Memphis. He went undrafted this April and signed as a free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville released him on Sept. 29.

Mordecia played at Oklahoma, SMU and Wisconsin. He went undrafted after the 2023 season. Mordecai spent 2024 on the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad, and was waived due to injury in late August.
