New York Giants: UDFA Derrick Dillons could become next explosive kick returner

The New York Giants landed a bevy of undrafted free agents after the 2020 NFL draft, one of them being LSU wide receiver Derrick Dillon. Dillon is an explosive runner, despite being used lightly in the LSU offense in 2019, catching 15 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns. At 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, Dillon is small but has elite speed, running a 4.29 40-yard dash.

His strengths are limited to short-area quickness and pure speed, but he could develop into a quality special-teams player. He has the tenacity to block well but also displays effort in all facets of the game.
