The Facts: The Giants today added Gillaspia, a special teams standout and a player who could also contribute to their offensive backfield.

Diehards Line: Gillaspia, a 6-2, 235-pound fullback, touched the ball just once while playing 25 games -- two in the postseason - for the Texans the previous two seasons; he caught a six-yard pass at Pittsburgh on Sept. 27, 2020. The Texans waived Gillaspia with a failed physical designation last Tuesday. He missed the final seven games of the 2020 season with a back injury that forced him to go on injured reserve. Gillaspia played 116 special teams snaps, but only seven on offense. He assisted on three special teams tackles. Gillaspia was a seventh-round draft choice in 2019, the 220th overall selection. As a rookie, he played in all 16 games and had 274 special teams snaps and 13 on offense.
