Victor Salako is the newest member of the New York Giants and he will compete to make the 53-man roster by earning a spot on the team's revamped offensive line. According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Giants have been assigned Salako off of waivers, via the Cleveland Browns. In a corresponding move, the Giants waived converted defensive tackle and offensive line project Jarron Jones.

The 6-foot-6 and 335-pound offensive tackle accrued a lot of experience at the collegiate level. Salako started 11 games as redshirt freshman at left tackle and another 12 games as a redshirt sophomore at UAB before the program disbanded. Salako went on to play his final two seasons at Oklahoma State where he started at left tackle. Big 12 coaches voted him second-team all-conference for his play on the blind side in 2016. Salako brings with him plus arm length (34 ¼") that NFL scouts drool over. Giants general manager Dave Gettleman has found unheralded gems before on the offensive line and likely hopes Salako will be another one of them.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein broke down the following strengths in Salako's game:

"Possesses a massive frame with good length to get into defenders," Zierlein wrote, via NFL.com. "Plays with decent strength in his hands. Able to land a punch and latch on early in the rep. Frame provides him natural power to generate some early movement. Finds his way back inside against counter moves in pass protection. Utilized controlled approach to his target in run game."

Salako was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Philadelphia Eagles last May and eventually made his way to the Browns. Now, Salako will have an opportunity to match up against his own Browns teammates when the Giants host Cleveland in the preseason opener next Thursday evening.

The Giants second and third-team offensive lines have struggled mightily through the start of training camp as they adjust to new defensive coordinator James Bettcher's blitz-heavy defensive scheme. Through the first five training camp practices, the Giants used Nick Becton as their second-team left tackle and Chad Wheeler as their second-team right tackle. They flipped Becton and Wheeler during Wednesday's practice (the sixth overall) to change things up. The Giants also introduced reserve guard John Jerry as the third-team right tackle to mix things up as well.

The Giants are hoping Salako can make a sizable impact sooner rather than later and provide the Giants with some more depth and options at the offensive tackle position behind starters Nate Solder and Ereck Flowers. The Giants are still on the hunt for a swing tackle to make the 53-man roster behind these two as both Wheeler and Becton have struggled in the early going of training camp.
