4 dark horses to make the NY Giants 53-man roster

1. WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton

Throughout last year's draft cycle, there may not have been a more polarizing late-round prospect than Bryce Ford-Wheaton. While some, including myself, mocked him in the fifth-to-seventh round, Wheaton ended up going undrafted and landed with the Giants on a fairly sizable contract for a UDFA.

Unfortunately, he would miss his rookie season due to a torn ACL in the preseason. Now, hopefully having recovered from said injury, Wheaton could prove that he should have been drafted this preseason.

The West Virginia product showcased absurd athletic and physical traits with the Mountaineers. While he couldn't always put it all together, the flashes he showcased made him more than worthy of a UDFA investment. If he can stay healthy, the Giants could potentially have a serious weapon on their hands.

The 6-4 receiver ran a 4.38 at last year's combine, while also boasting a 41-inch vertical. Wheaton has potential to be a serious deep threat for the Giants and has even shown flashes of being a punt return threat in the past.
