Ken Harper has been given an opportunity for that kind of role at the NFL level by the New York Giants.
Harper had to get through a tryout he was invited to as part of Big Blue’s Rookie Camp. The 6-foot, 225
pounder did not have a contract, just an opportunity, which he seized. Harper was impressive enough to get a free agent contract and a long look through the summer to see if he can land a spot with the Giants.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced 2015 training camp will begin on Sunday, August 2 at the NovaCare Complex.

On Saturday, Weatherford’s wife Laura gave birth to the couple’s fourth child and third daughter, Josie Jaclyn, in Southern California. Early this morning, the Giants’ punter was in a one-car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike that left him, “very fortunate to be alive.”
Last week the Eagles took USC wide receiver Nelson Agholor with the No. 20 pick in the 2015 NFL draft.
It was a solid pick. Agholor’s body of work at Southern Cal was outstanding, finishing his career with 179 catches for 2,571 yards and 20 touchdowns in 30 games, becoming just the 12th Trojan to notch 2,000 receiving yards in a career.
Nelson Agholor is a nice start. On a perfect spring night in the Windy City Mr. Agholor’s name was called in the first round, the fourth wide receiver drafted on the special night. Eventually two more wide receivers’ name would be called in the first round, making it a total of six new shiny toys for their respective teams to highlight and amalgamate into their scheme.
It’s tough enough to come from the rustic community of Weyburn, Saskatchewan (pop. 10,484), Canada and start the final chapter of your football career, an opportunity to play in the NFL.
But to make that start in the biggest stage in America, the New York City area, it must be overwhelming, right?
Apparently not for Giants free agent center Brett Jones.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Victor Cruz is getting antsy. The Giants’ outstanding wide receiver, slowly but steadily working his way back from major knee surgery, did not join his teammates today for the first organized team activity (OTA), essentially a practice in which the players are not permitted to wear pads. Cruz ran some […]

If you haven’t heard by now, Tim Tebow is an Eagle.
I am sure that we all have our opinions on him and his playing ability, but sounds like Coach Kelly felt he is a good addition to the team at this point. I would agree.
The Philadelphia Eagles have promoted pro scout Louis Clark to senior director of pro personnel. The 50-year-old Clark has served as a pro scout with the Eagles since 2013. Prior to joining the Eagles, Clark spent 16 seasons in the Jacksonville Jaguars player personnel department. He joined the Jaguars in 1997 as a […]
