Following a mid-July decision by the New York Giants to release Syracuse’s four-year starting quarterback and 2018 Camping World Bowl Champion Eric Dungey, we decided to analyze the newbies/hopefuls, the mainstays, and the seasoned veterans across the NFL who spent their collegiate years in Central New York.
The Newbies/Hopefuls:
Chris Slayton: Defensive Tackle (New York Giants):
Following a tenacious three years with the Orange, Syracuse’s lone NFL draftee in 2019 totaled 24 tackles (eight for loss), and more than three sacks while anchoring SU to a 10-3 record and bowl victory over West Virginia in late December.
