The New York Giants Wednesday announced the signing of defensive back Joe Powell of Globe Tech. Powell will likely replace cornerback Matt Smalley, who suffered a dislocated shoulder on Monday. A roster move with Smalley has not yet been announced.
Globe Institute of Technology, since you are now scratching your head, is a Division III school located in New York City. And no, I had never heard of it either until Powell was signed.
Powell, incidentally, is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound defensive back who declared early for the 2016 NFL Draft but was not selected.
