The New York Giants have reportedly made another in what is becoming a long list of under-the-radar “prove-it” type free agent signings. Jordan Akins, a tight end who spent his first four NFL seasons with the Houston Texans, is reportedly signing a one-year deal with the Giants.
A third-round pick by Houston in 2018, the 6-foot-4, 243-pound Akins has 114 receptions and three touchdowns in 58 NFL games, 23 of which were starts. He has averaged 11.1 yards per catch.
Akins is the second tight end to sign a one-year deal with the Giants, joining Ricky Seals-Jones.
