Giants Sign A Return Man

Giants Sign Laron Scott: DB/KR



On a busy Thursday afternoon, the Giants brought in DT Marcus Thomas for a visit and signed un drafted Laron Scott, a return specialist and defensive back from Georgia Southern. Scott spent most of camp with the Saints but was released to make room for WR Kevin Hardy. In the video above, you will see his kick returning abilities. In this same game however, he misjudged a punt which led to a 79 yard boot by the Cardinals punter Dave Zastudil.

Interesting to see the Giants taking in a return man. I would assume he is not there for CB purposes, but with how thin the Giants are at CB, maybe Reese has found a hidden gem? I understand his spot is not guaranteed, but with Laron and Wilson on the KR team, do they finally have the threat we have been waiting for? Also what does this mean for Da'Rel Scott's position on the team? Definitely needs to prove his worth at RB in these next 3 preseason games.
