One of the stars from Friday’s scrimmage for the New York Giants was undrafted free agent Javon Leake. Out of Maryland, Leake is described as a one-cut guy, who can put his foot in the ground and take off with blazing speed. Averaging 7.2 yards per carry in 2019, the UDFA was waived after Friday’s contest. He looks good on kick returns and even broke off a lengthy run, led by right tackle Matt Peart.
This was an odd move for the Giants, who seemed to value him at multiple positions. However, they needed to add depth to the secondary, which seems to be more of a priority.
