What do we need to know about Keion Crossen, the special teamer and reserve cornerback the New York Giants acquired via trade (reported as a 2023 seventh-rounder) from the Houston Texans on Monday?
A connection to Joe Judge
Of course Crossen has ties to Giants coach Joe Judge. When the Patriots drafted Crossen in the sixth round in 2018, Judge was New England’s special teams coach. Crossen had eight tackles that season while functioning as a punt gunner, working on kickoff coverage and being part of the punt return team.
“He’s a guy that brings an element of speed and athleticism,” Judge said.
