New York Giants name two undrafted rookies to final 53-man roster
Summary

The New York Giants finalized their initial 53-man roster on Sunday evening. The team kept two undrafted free agent rookies, kicker Dominic Zvada and long snapper Ben Mann, as part of the new group. Zvada secured his spot after a competition with Ben Sauls, who the team waived with an injury designation. Mann earned his position during the spring and remained the only long snapper on the roster through training camp. In total, 25 players on the current roster were not with the club last year, including all seven of the team’s 2026 NFL draft selections. The front office waived several other undrafted free agents to reach the league-mandated limit, including Grant Finlay, Ryan Schernecke, Jarrod Gray, Ben Barten, and Anquin Barnes Jr.
