Jaydon Mickens an underdog to earn spot with Giants

The life of an NFL undrafted free agent can be brutal. New York Giants receiver/returner Jaydon Mickens has bounced around the league since 2016, being waived or released 13 separate times in the process. He has primarily wandered around practice squads while playing in 38 games for three teams, looking for a place to stick on the roster. He seeks to make the Giants’ roster as a special teams player who doesn’t offer much offensively.
