Following the 2021 NFL draft<\/a>, the New York Giants signed three undrafted free agents: Brett Heggie, Jake Burton, and Raymond Johnson III. As the Giants begin their OTA offseason workouts, these players could make a push for spots on the practice squad or even the final roster. Here\u2019s a glimpse at each of Big Blue\u2019s undrafted free agents and what they could do to make the final roster in September.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key New York Giants Undrafted Free Agents in 2021<\/h2>\n

Center Brett Heggie – Florida<\/h3>\n

While Nick Gates looks like New York\u2019s surefire starter at center in 2021, Brett Heggie has a good shot at becoming the team\u2019s backup. The Giants brought in veteran Jonotthan Harrison in free agency to provide depth, but Heggie\u2019s versatility could give him an edge over Harrison.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Florida, Heggie\u2019s quickness off the snap and his success in short-yardage scenarios <\/span>allowed the Gators to play him at both center and guard<\/a><\/span>. A peek at his film displays how well he used those skills to thrive as a run-blocker. Heggie’s<\/span> great work ethic and willingness to play through injury caught general manager Dave Gettleman\u2019s eye. The Giants didn\u2019t pick any offensive linemen in the NFL Draft, so he could add to the group if he turns heads at training camp and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n
