• Some surprises are on the way for the Big Blue offense and defense

2. NY Giants wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton
It's always a surprise when an undrafted free agent is able to sneak his way on the roster, but this could end up what happens with former West Virginia wideout Bryce Ford-Wheaton. Several teams were interested in trying to land him after he went undrafted, but the G-Men were able to get things done with the big-bodied receiver.
Ford-Wheaton hasn't quite lived up to the hype this summer, with a disappointing showing against the Lions still being talked about. However, Ford-Wheaton has impressed both Coach Dabes and Joe Schoen with his work on special teams. With his potential for the offense and his desire to make plays on special teams, he could end up being a surprise pick for the 53-man squad.
However, there's also a good chance that he'll make his way to the practice squad. From our chair, it feels like Ford-Wheaton has a 50-50 chance to make the roster. His performance against the Jets on Saturday night very well could end up being the deciding factor.
