Pascal looks like a special teams-first player at this point in his career
The New York Giants are continuing to explore the free agent market to add depth options. In addition to Monday’s news that quarterback Jameis Winston will visit the team, veteran wide receiver Zach Pascal reportedly visited the Giants on Monday.
Pascal, 30, is a seven-year veteran who spent four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, one with the Philadelphia Eagles and the last two years with the Arizona Cardinals. Giants wide receivers coach Mike Groh was was Pascal in Indianapolis in 2020 and 2021 when he caught a combined 82 passes.
Pascal, 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, played only 68 offensive snaps for the Cardinals in 2024. He was never targeted. He did play a career-high 278 special teams snaps, the third consecutive season in which he played more than 200 special teams snaps.
Should he sign what would likely be a veteran minimum contract, Pascal would likely be in competition with Bryce Ford-Wheaton and others for a spot at the bottom of the receiver depth chart.
