The New York Giants announced on Tuesday that cornerback Brandon Williams will return to practice after being placed on injured reserve earlier in the season. Williams was used mostly as a gunner on special teams before going down with a groin injury.

The 23 year-old Hartage played his college ball at Northwestern and played for the Miami Dolphins in 2019 after going undrafted. While in college he earned first-team All Big-Ten honors in 2018. He finished his college career with ten interceptions, 172 tackles and 39 passes defended.

John is a big player at 6-foot-7 and was selected in the third round of the CFL draft, but decided to give the NFL a try. He posted an impressive forty time for a tight end at 4.60. So he has some potential but will need to prove himself to the Giants’ coaching staff.
