Some scouts have compared Jordan Gowins to Saquon Barkley based on their similarities in size, strength and speed. Now the Stony Brook University running back could get a chance to be Barkley’s teammate.
Gowins was invited to take part in Giants’ rookie minicamp as a tryout. He’ll be on the field with the 2019 draft class, undrafted free-agent signings, and others on Friday and Saturday. If the Giants like what they see, they could offer Gowins a contract.
Gowins attended the Giants’ local pro day earlier this month.
The Giants did not draft a running back this year, but they already have agreed to sign rookie Jonathan Hilliman from Rutgers to a free-agent deal.
