Tezino, who played for the Pittsburgh Maulers in the USFL, drew interest from several NFL teams, including the Patriots, Panthers, and Steelers.

Thompson, the Offensive Player of the Year in the USFL, displayed his skills with the Houston Gamblers after multiple stints in the NFL.

While no official signings have been announced following the pre-camp workout, the Giants' interest in these players suggests they are keeping an eye on potential additions to their roster, particularly in positions where depth could be valuable. Photo Credit: Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports
