FA CB Amani Oruwariye is signing a one-year deal with the #Giants, sources tell
@theScore
.

Oruwariye had 6 INTs in 2021 as well as 11 PBUs and 2 TFLs. Former #Lions’ corner finds a new home in New York.
Really liked him coming out of Penn State.

wow, that's a bit of an interesting signing
He was a ballhawk back in 2021, but took a major step back last year  
Anakim : 3/23/2023 1:34 pm : link
I think he got benched. He was really bad. IDK if it was injury or what, but let's hope he can reclaim his 2021 game.

Yes - he was benched along with two other players and the Lions tried to trade him before the deadline last year

was among the leaders in snaps playing press covg in 2021  
Eric on Li : 3/23/2023 1:38 pm : link
but didn't have great results doing so, though he did have 6 ints that year so seems like a good depth signing with at least a little upside. tested well for a bigger cb out of psu. seems like a good depth signing.

Lions fired their DB coach mid year  
ElitoCanton : 3/23/2023 1:38 pm : link
and then suddenly everyone got better. This is a very good flyer to take and I trust our coaches to get the most out of him.

With his size I wonder if he will play a hybrid CB/S role.
30.0 PFF Grade last year. Yikes.

i think the appeal is likely that in a season where he pressed on 400+ snaps he also had 6 ints and decent enough advanced metrics in terms of passer rating when targeted. other than jackson he is probably the most experienced press corner on the roster so i think that's likely where he plays.

This is a very solid signing for the Giants. If he sucks they can just cut him without issue. However after seeing him record 6 interceptions two seasons ago I look forward to seeing what this coaching staff can get out of him after the surprisingly strong seasons from journeymen Fabian Moreau and Nick McCloud.
Depth talent, a lottery ticket on a big, long athlete  
JonC : 3/23/2023 1:53 pm : link
who seemed to play well in '21. Similar logic to Hollins, the LB who visited and went back to GB
He's a big guy 6'2" so thats a plus  
Jim in Forest Hills : 3/23/2023 1:55 pm : link
Measurables look good too.

Useful against the AJ Browns, bigger WRs or even TEs possibly.

CornerStone246+17 : 3/23/2023 1:57 pm : link
to reshape the roster with better and better players that are system fits. The depth on this roster is immensely improved over last year. You could argue every single unit on this team is improved with OL in theory improving because rookies will be better in their second year and Bred perhaps as an upgrade on Feliciano.

Seems like a good player to give a shot to.
Last year  
Y28 : 3/23/2023 1:59 pm : link
in a game against Minny in Week 3, he had SIX penalties called against him.

His career with the Lions went on a huge downfall following that game.

But as others pointed out, he had an outstanding 2021.

Giants fans need to appreciate the superior skills of our DB coach Jerome Henderson. One of the very best- so I like this signing.

No, they do it to make Bob Papa's life miserable.
Low risk and high reward  
Breeze_94 : 3/23/2023 2:05 pm : link
On a still young player at a position of need.

No reason to complain.

Guy was a ball hawk in 2021, but was AWFUL last year (30 off grade, one of the lowest I’ve seen)

Let’s hope the change of scenery does him well and we can get the 2021 version, which Lions fans wanted to sign to a long term contract

We have experience with how a coaching change can instantly help a player.

Just look at Corey Webster's story. Looked like shit. Fired the DC. New guy put him in position to succeed.
Not sure why he was excellent in 2021 and terrible in 2022...

Oruwariye led Penn State in interceptions Saquon's last year, with four. He tied for the team lead with three in 2018.
he had a 4th quarter pick playing against baltimore in 2021  
Eric on Li : 3/23/2023 4:33 pm : link
that almost won detroit the game. they went 17-16 (then lost on a justin tucker fg after a last minute drive by lamar).

it's the first one on this highlight reel of his 9 career ints. lamar threw this one up for grabs but he was guarding hollywood brown on the play.
