We’ve seen a handful of players from Europe get looks from NFL teams as part of their expanded offseason rosters and the Giants are bringing another one across the pond this year.

According to multiple reports, the Giants have signed French wide receiver Anthony Dable’. Dable’, who is listed at 6'5" and 215 pounds, last played for the Braunschweig New Yorker Lions, who, like the Giants, don’t actually play in New York.

They play in Germany, where they’ve won the league in each of the last three seasons and they also won the Eurobowl last season after losing in the title game in 2014. Dable’ had 145 catches and 32 touchdowns for the Lions over the last two seasons.

As you can see in this highlight video, it’s a big step up from the German league to the NFL and Dable’ is going to face an uphill battle to wind up making the Giants roster in September.
