The New York Giants are not waiting around as training camp looms, making moves to shore up their roster. They just worked out a trio of defensive backs on Monday, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN and Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, clearly looking for some immediate impact to get things sorted. These aren’t just random tryouts, either; the Giants are poking around some interesting talent.
Moses and His Wild Comeback Story
First up is Ahmaad Moses, a safety from SMU. This dude is undersized at 5-foot-9, 192 pounds, but man, he sounds explosive! We’re talking a 38-inch vertical, serious athleticism. He’s got that instinctive playmaker vibe, plus some upside on special teams. What’s wild about Moses is his journey: he went undrafted after the 2026 NFL Draft because an MRI revealed a herniated disc. Think about that, a career almost sidelined before it started. But get this, he had spinal fusion surgery just four months ago and he’s *just* been cleared. The Giants bringing him in? That’s a massive show of faith in his recovery and a roll of the dice on some serious talent. You love to see that kind of perseverance get a shot.
Grimes and Webb Bring Different Flavors to the Secondary
Then there’s Tony Grimes, a former Purdue DB. This guy’s got solid size for a corner at 6-foot, 195 pounds, with twitchy athleticism and long 33 1/2 inch arms. Grimes was a blue-chip recruit, like the 6th overall recruit in the country per ESPN, bouncing through North Carolina, Texas A&M, and UNLV before landing at Purdue in 2025. That kind of pedigree, even with the transfers, signals some serious potential the Giants are clearly intrigued by. Rounding out the group is veteran cornerback Sam Webb. The Giants have actually worked out Webb before this offseason. He’s got some real pro experience, playing for the Las Vegas Raiders, Carolina Panthers, and Cleveland Browns. Webb’s played in 36 games, started 5 of them, grabbed 45 tackles, 4 passes defensed, one interception, and forced a fumble. He also brings special teams experience, which is always a plus.
The Giants recently opened up two roster spots after waiving linebacker Cam Jones and defensive tackle C.J. Ravenell. So, these workouts aren’t just for kicks; there are actual spots available. The Giants are clearly on the hunt to fill out their defense with guys who can contribute right away as training camp gets going. These guys are fighting for their NFL careers, and the Giants are looking to snag some overlooked talent. Who knows, one of these guys could be a real steal heading into the season!
