Giants sign undrafted defensive tackle Elijah Chatman to training camp roster
NY Post
The Giants liked what they saw from Elijah Chatman during their two-day rookie minicamp and signed the undersized, powerful defensive tackle for their 90-man training camp roster.
Chatman, 23, went undrafted in 2023 out of Southern Methodist University, where he played for five seasons as a four-year starter.
In 56 games, he had 148 total tackles, 13.5 sacks, 33 tackles for loss and five fumble recoveries, one he returned for a touchdown.
At 6-foot and 278 pounds, Chatman does not have the usual size for an interior defensive lineman.
He is called “Baby Bison” and he showed enough working against the other rookies to earn a contract.
More than 50 players attended the minicamp on a tryout basis.
Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
