The Indianapolis native is now getting another shot to make an NFL roster. However, he joins a Giants team that has established tight ends Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph atop its depth chart.
With the Giants, Stevens joins former Nittany Lion teammates Saquon Barkley, Cam Brown, and Austin Johnson.
The New Orleans Saints originally drafted Stevens No. 240 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. However, they soon released Stevens after he spent half the season on the practice squad. The Saints also listed Stevens as a tight end on their roster.
The Carolina Panthers signed him days later to their practice squad. Stevens appeared in one game with the Panthers and rushed four times for 24 yards.
Stevens was a former three-star recruit in the Class of 2015. In four seasons at Penn State, Stevens threw for 304 yards with four touchdowns and only one interception. He also totaled 14 receptions for 62 yards and two touchdowns between 2017 and 2018.
Stevens transferred for his final season of eligibility to Mississippi State, where he threw for 1,155 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.
