Draft picks can be booms or they can be busts or fall anywhere in between. It is readily apparent what John Ross was for the Bengals and what the Giants hope to get out of this disappointing speed-demon wide receiver.

Ross, 25, agreed to terms Tuesday with the Giants on a one-year prove-it deal for $2.5 million, including $1 million in guaranteed money. It is a low-risk move for the Giants — who see the talent in Ross, talent that rarely materialized in his four years in Cincinnati.

For those hoping to see the Giants make a run at Kenny Golladay or JuJu Smith-Schuster in free agency, this ain’t that.

This is a low-risk projection by the Giants. Ross was the No. 9-overall pick in the 2017 draft and never came close to living up to that lofty draft status. In four years, he played in just 27 games and has just 51 receptions for 733 yards and 10 touchdowns. He is best known for clocking in at 4.22 in the 40-yard dash at the 2017 scouting combine, breaking the record held by Chris Johnson.

Based on speed alone, Ross should have been a terror.

In 2020, Ross played in just three games. He was placed on the COVID-19 list when he left the team to be with his son, who contracted the virus, and later landed on injured reserve with a foot issue. He asked for a trade but the Bengals did not comply.

Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton are the only two receivers assured of making the team, as Golden Tate was released prior to free agency. Ross will get a chance to show the Giants he has something to offer.

The Giants added special teamer Cullen Gillaspia to the roster. The 6-foot-2, 235-pound Gillaspia is listed as a fullback and spent the past two seasons with the Texans but was almost never on the field on offense — just seven snaps in 2020. He touched the ball on offense only one time in 25 games, catching a 6-yard pass against the Steelers last season.

The Texans last week waived Gillaspia with a failed physical designation. He missed the final seven games last season with a back injury. He was a 2019 seventh-round draft pick and played in all 16 games as a rookie, with 274 snaps on special teams and just 13 on offense. A walk-on linebacker at Texas A&M, Gillaspia converted to fullback as a senior.

The Giants tailed off in their special teams units in the second half of last season. Gillaspia addresses that failing.
