So, here's the scoop from the Big Apple - the New York Giants just beefed up their quarterback lineup by snagging Nathan Rourke from the waiver wire of the New England Patriots.
Let's rewind a bit and dive into Rourke's journey. This dude started making waves up north with the BC Lions after they picked him in the second round of the 2020 CFL draft. Fast forward to 2022, and bam! He goes bonkers, smashing records and bagging awards like the CFL Most Outstanding Canadian. Dude was on fire, completing passes like it's nobody's business - 78.7% completion rate, 3,349 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only 10 picks. That's the kinda stuff that gets you noticed!
After his CFL shindig, Rourke got NFL teams all hot and bothered with his workouts, flirting with a dozen of them. Giants were among the smitten suitors, but he swiped right on the Jacksonville Jaguars. That was short-lived though, 'cause the Jags ghosted him just before Christmas, and then the Pats took a brief interest before also showing him the door this week. Tough luck, right?
Now, the Giants are giving Rourke a shot to shine in the Big Apple. Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing in at 210 pounds, he's gonna tango with Tommy DeVito for a spot behind main man Daniel Jones and backup Drew Lock. It's gonna be a showdown worth watching, folks! Let's see if Rourke can turn his CFL mojo into some NFL magic.
