New York Giants will workout four USFL players including star RB Mark Thompson
Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports that the New York Giants are working out linebacker Kyahva Tezino, defensive tackle Kevin Atkins, linebacker Joe Giles-Harris, and running back Mark Thompson on Monday. Both players played in the USFL earlier this year.
Joe Giles-Harris was a starting linebacker in the NFL who played for the Jaguars and Bills. He was a very good linebacker in the USFL.
Kevin Atkins the 6’2, 300-pound defensive lineman was a beast at Fresno State and had solid production for the San Francisco 49ers. He had a great USFL season as well and earned a workout with the G-Men.
Tezino had 94 tackles and two interceptions while playing for the Pittsburgh Maulers this season. He went to San Diego State and got looks from the Patriots, Panthers, and Steelers before spending the last two seasons with the Maulers.
Thompson was the USFL offensive player of the year after running for 653 yards and 14 touchdowns as a member of the Houston Gamblers. He spent time with the Texans, Jets, Lions, Ravens, and Raiders after going undrafted out of Florida.
