Giants claim quarterback Nathan Rourke off waivers from Patriots
NY Post
It turns out that the Giants were not done adding quarterbacks just because the NFL draft passed.
The Giants claimed Nathan Rourke off of waivers Tuesday from the Patriots, The Post confirmed.
The twist is that Rourke previously tried out for the Giants as a receiver during rookie minicamp in 2021, during the final year of the Dave Gettleman-Joe Judge era.
Rourke went undrafted out of Ohio University in 2021 but earned his ticket to the NFL by starring in his native Canadian Football League.
He set the CFL single-season record by completing 78.7 percent of his passes in 2022, when, despite missing eight games with a foot injury, he was named the league’s Most Outstanding Canadian after a 25-touchdown season.
Rourke, 25, was the odd man out in New England after the drafting of two quarterbacks — first-rounder Drake Maye and sixth-rounder Joe Milton.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Igor Shesterkin and the Rangers have experienced it from all sides the past three springs. They have overcome a 3-1 series deficit by winning an overtime Game 7 at home. They have overcome a 3-2 deficit to win a Game 7 on the road. They have lost a 2-0 series lead in dropping four straight. They have lost another 2-0 lead before losing in seven. And they have swept.
