Related Topics: lineman, Jon Halapio

Jon Halapio has been around the block.

The reserve lineman, No. 69 in the Giants roster countdown, was a sixth-round pick out of Florida by the Patriots in 2014. He's had two preseason stints in New England, as well as practice squad time with the Broncos and a preseason Cardinals. He's also played in the 'Fall Experimental Football League,' and he's now back with the Giants after spending most of last season on their practice squad.

Here's what fans need to know about Halapio, and why he could be a surprise 53-man roster contender this summer:

Halapio impressed the coaching staff during the offseason program, and will have a shot to battle for a spot as a swing interior lineman off the bench.
