The New York Giants have officially signed running back Jacob Saylors, as confirmed by his agent, Ray Haija. Saylors previously played for the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL and recently had a workout with the Giants, which led to this signing.
During his time with the St. Louis Battlehawks, Saylors performed impressively, earning himself All-UFL honors by rushing for 461 yards and scoring five touchdowns. Despite going undrafted after his college football career at East Tennessee State in 2023, Saylors signed with the Cincinnati Bengals. Unfortunately, he was unable to secure a spot on the Bengals’ roster after recording nine rushes for 27 yards in the final preseason game.
Following his stint with the Bengals, Saylors joined the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad before suffering an injury that ultimately led to his release from the team on January 2nd. Now, with the opportunity to join the Giants, Saylors is looking to make an impact and showcase his talents in the NFL.
This signing comes at a crucial time for the Giants, who are in need of additional depth at the running back position. Saylors’ experience in the UFL and his determination to succeed in the NFL make him a promising addition to the team’s roster. With his speed, agility, and strong work ethic, Saylors has the potential to contribute positively to the Giants’ offense and provide valuable support to the team.
As Saylors embarks on this new chapter of his football career with the New York Giants, fans eagerly anticipate seeing him in action on the field. His journey from college football to the UFL and now to the NFL is a testament to his resilience and dedication to pursuing his passion for the game. With hard work and perseverance, Saylors is ready to seize this opportunity with the Giants and make a name for himself in the league.
