The New York Giants claimed tight end Greg Dulcich off waivers from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday.
Holding the No. 2 spot on the waiver order, the Giants are bringing in Dulcich to compete with rookie Theo Johnson.
Despite having some intriguing upside as a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Dulcich’s tenure in Denver quickly burned out.
The 24-year-old UCLA product recorded 33 receptions for 411 yards and two touchdowns during his rookie season, showing some promise.
However, he suffered a hamstring injury during Week 1 of the 2023 season, which landed him on the Reserve/Injured list. He was activated in October, but went back on the reserve list after re-injuring his hamstring.
Then, in a somewhat surprising development, Dulcich was a healthy scratch for the first eight games of the 2024 season before being waived by the Broncos.
Despite their issues at the quarterback position and other positions across the roster, the promising duo of Johnson and Dulcich could provide an intriguing foundation if the Giants can get the latter on the right track.
