ACCOLADES:
NFC 2024 Offensive Player of the Week 14
NOTES:
Tommy seemed to be the odds on favorite in 2024 to be the Giants starting QB but with the return of Daniel Jones and the addition of Drew Lock, things got complicated. On top of that a hand injury sustained during the season and a concussion, slowed Tommy’s progression.
Tommy is a fan favorite, who not only was undrafted, but is also a local who lives close to the Giants practice facility and is a proud Italian as well.
A combine freak and athlete, he set the record for lineman with a 37″ verticle.
Blake was selected in the 4th round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts.
With a carousel of injuries to the OL, Freeland saw action in 10 games his rookie season primarily as a swing tackle.
NOTES:
The prevailing winds in Indianapolis are that Blake was sorta thrown into the fire his rookie campaign. He’s got the athleticism, but just needs to work on his technique.
Opted to utilize the extra year of eligibility granted by the COVID pandemic.
Played 3 games for Utah in 2021.
Transferred to Liberty for 2022 and was injured in the first game of the season.
Went undrafted in 2023.
Saw time briefly on the off-season roster of the Ottawa Redblacks of the CFL.
NOTES:
Brewer is part of a hotbed of quarterback talent from Austin, Texas, and he himself comes from strong football bloodlines. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets lost in the shuffle of QB talent in camps this year, and would make a fantastic target for XFL developmental.
