Signed by the Giants on June 1 as the closest 1:1 potential replacement for Olszewski on the 90-man roster. Seven-year veteran with similar skillset and experience; career 11.3 yards per return average on 100 punt returns and 24.9-yard average on 91 kickoff returns. Career-best 46 catches with the New York Jets in 2021 when he was First-Team All-Pro, averaging 13.1 yards on punt returns and 30.4 on kickoff returns. Primary concern is whether back-to-back injury-plagued seasons (torn ACL with Miami Dolphins in 2024, hamstring injuries with Houston Texans) have diminished his quickness and explosion; played only 10 games over those two years.

30-year-old slot receiver signed one-year deal with Giants after Monday workout as direct replacement for injured Gunner Olszewski; both began careers in New England. Berrios was first-team All-Pro in 2021 after averaging 13.4 yards per punt return and 30.4 yards per kickoff return, including a 102-yard kick return TD. Career highs of 46 catches for 431 yards came in 2021 with Jets; production has tailed off recently. Suffered torn ACL in Week 7 2024 with Dolphins; appeared in just four games last season for Texans due to hamstring injury and depth chart burial. Enters punt return competition with Calvin Austin III and Xavier Gipson.
