Giants Keep the Momentum Rolling with Aggressive Post-Draft UDFA Haul
The 2025 NFL Draft may be officially over, but the New York Giants are far from done reshaping their roster. After selecting nine players over three days—addressing key needs at edge rusher, quarterback, wide receiver, and more—GM Joe Schoen wasted no time diving into the undrafted free-agent pool with the same intensity he brought to the draft itself.
You’d think a solid draft class would be enough, but Schoen made it clear: he’s leaving no stone unturned in building a more competitive and versatile team. That approach has already paid off in previous seasons, with several UDFAs earning spots on the practice squad—and even contributing on Sundays. It’s part of the Giants’ roster-building DNA: turn long shots into long-term depth.
With lingering needs at receiver, offensive line, linebacker, and special teams, the Giants quickly added a new wave of talent the moment the draft ended.
Complete List of Giants’ UDFA Signings (Post-2025 NFL Draft):
- Makari Paige (DB, Michigan)
- Da’Quan Felton (WR, Virginia Tech)
- Jaison Williams (OL, Youngstown State)
- Dalen Cambre (WR, Louisiana)
- Jermaine Terry (TE, Oregon State)
- Jordan Bly (WR, Gardner-Webb)
- R.J. Delancy III (CB, Wisconsin)
- Trace Ford (DE, Oklahoma)
- Beaux Collins (WR, Notre Dame)
- Antwane Wells (WR, Ole Miss)
- Tommy McCormick (DB, Idaho)
- Nate McCollum (WR, North Carolina)
Among the most intriguing signings is Jordan Bly, a dynamic receiver from Gardner-Webb and the son of former NFL corner Dre’ Bly. Despite being undersized at 5’10”, 170 lbs, Bly boasts legitimate 4.3 speed, sharp route-running, and pro bloodlines. His electric Pro Day opened eyes, and if he can contribute on special teams, he could quickly rise from under-the-radar to under-the-lights.
Another standout addition is Makari Paige, a 6’4” safety from Michigan who played a key role during the Wolverines’ national championship run. While he doesn’t wow with raw athleticism, his football IQ, size, and physical play make him a strong candidate to stick around as a versatile depth piece and special teams contributor.
Makari Paige,
For fans chasing upside, Trace Ford out of Oklahoma is the name to remember. Once a highly regarded pass-rusher, Ford flashed elite traits before injuries stalled his college career. He’s explosive, aggressive, and exactly the type of raw talent that NFL teams love to develop in camp. If he can stay healthy, Ford could become a sneaky asset in the Giants’ pass rush rotation.
Sleeper Standouts to Watch:
- Jordan Bly: Undersized but blazing fast WR with NFL lineage and special teams potential
- Makari Paige: Smart, physical safety with championship experience
- Trace Ford: Boom-or-bust edge rusher with pro-level athleticism
The Giants are clearly hunting for hidden gems—and don’t be surprised if a few of these names make the final roster come September.
