Ayir Asante brings big-play ability with a knack for contested catches and a 17.7 YPR average. Can he polish up his route running to earn a role in the crowded Giants' receiver room?
As if adding a super-talented receiver in the first round was not enough, the New York Giants added additional receiving talent during the undrafted free agency scramble in the form of Wyoming big-play receiver Ayir Asante .
In his final season for the Crusaders, he averaged a massive 21.8 yards per reception. He hopes to provide the Giants with another receiver with big play potential.Asante seems to have a knack for the big play. He usually provides it via deep shots down the field. It didn't matter what program he was in--he continued to find his way past defensive backs.
In addition to running by defenders, many of his catches have been contested. He and the defensive back go up for the ball but he is the one who comes down with it consistently. His ability to high-point the ball is uncanny, making those 50/50 balls look more like 70/30 when he is involved.Although Asante is dynamic in the slot, he could still use some polish on his intermediate route running.
