The New York Giants will continue tweaking their roster between now and a Week 1 game against the Tennessee Titans, which means plenty of visits, tryouts and transactions.
One upcoming round of visits will include undrafted rookie wide receiver Kalil Pimpleton, who spent the summer with the Detroit Lions and found a little fame on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”

The 23-year-old Pimpleton, who played his college ball at Central Michigan after transferring from Virginia, caught the eye of many for his juggling ability and arguably oversized pads. However, his play on the field wasn’t quite as consistent as his juggling, which led to the Lions releasing him as a part of final cuts.
In three preseason games, Pimpleton hauled in nine receptions for 69 yards and four first downs and had one kick return for 30 yards. But he also made at least one glaring drop.
As a senior at Central Michigan, Pimpleton was named Mid-American Conference Special Teams Player of the Year and selected to the All-MAC First Team as both a punt returner and wide receiver.
