Giants sign Woodrow Hamilton to practice squad
Earlier this week, the New York Giants hosted workouts for three defensive tackles — Woodrow Hamilton, Treyvon Hester and Xavier Williams.
One day after the workouts, Hamilton was in a Giants uniform and on the field for practice. He had been signed to the team’s practice squad.
The 28-year-old Hamilton, who signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss in 2016, is a somewhat familiar face to the Giants. After starting his career with the Pats, he landed with the New Orleans Saints (2017-2018) before having a brief cup of coffee with new York in 2018.
The 6-foot-3, 315-pound Hamilton also had stints with the Carolina Panthers (2019-2020) and Tennessee Titans (2021).
Hamilton won a title alongside current Giants head coach Joe Judge in 2017, each of whom were with the Patriots at the time.
Over his six-year NFL career, Hamilton has appeared in nine games (one start) and recorded six tackles (three solo) and one fumble recovery.
