EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today added a tight end who is a local product and released three players from their roster.

They signed tight end Garrett Dickerson from Northwestern University and Bergen Catholic High School, which is just 13 miles from MetLife Stadium.

The Giants waived wide receiver Keeon Johnson and defensive backs Jeremiah McKinnon and Mike Jones.

Dickerson, 6-3 and 248 pounds, played in 49 games at Northwestern and caught 87 passes for 887 yards and nine touchdowns. As a senior in 2017, he was selected honorable mention All-Big Ten after recording career highs in receptions (37) and yards (401). He scored four touchdowns, one less than the career best he set in 2016.

At Bergen Catholic, Dickerson set school tight end records with 52 catches, 776 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Probably camp fodder or S/T bound. But I've got no problem with continually pushing the guys on top by bringing in tougher competition.

Yeah I've probably set the expectations too high for this kid
unless he turns out to be a diamond in the rough?
