New York Giants: 2 dark horse UDFAs to keep an eye on in 2020

New York Giants, Derrick Dillon

2.) Derrick Dillon

Derek Dillon is an unrecognized player out of LSU, who has elite speed. As an explosive runner with a 4.29 40 yard dash, he is the perfect player to serve as a kick returner in the NFL.

In 2019, he caught 15 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns. At just 5 foot 11 and 185 pounds, he’s a smaller player that likely serves best in the slot. It will be difficult for him to earn a spot on the team with reserve options like Binjimen Victor, Austin Mack, David Sills, Da’Mari Scott, Cody Core, and Alex Bachman competing for roster spots.

His best bet is earning a special team’s position, and his speed gives him the ability to return kicks at a high-level.
