The 6-foot, 187-pound Chukwumezie ran 4.47 in the 40-yard dash at his pro day in March. He also tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers and intends to play in the XFL if he doesn’t sign with an NFL team.
In addition to Chukwumezie, Dan Duaggan of The Athletic reports that the Giants also worked out veteran defensive lineman Chris Wormley.
Veteran DL Chris Wormley is visiting the Giants today, per source. Seventh-year veteran with 31 career starts spent his first three seasons with Wink Martindale in Baltimore. He set a career high with seven sacks for the Steelers in 2021.

The 29-year-old Wormley was a third-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2017. After three seasons under defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, Wormley was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he remained for the past three years.
In 80 career games (31 starts), Wormley has recorded 142 tackles (80 solo, 14 for a loss), 23 QB hits, 11.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and 10 passes defensed. His best analytical season came in 2020 when he earned an overall grade of 83.0 from Pro Football Focus.
The Giants continue to try out players this summer, even at positions where they seem to be fully stocked.
