Giants sign offensive lineman J.C. Hassenauer

The New York Giants have signed offensive lineman J.C. Hassenauer.

Hassenauer, 6-2 and 295 pounds, originally entered the league with the Falcons as an undrafted prospect out of Alabama in 2018. The following year, he joined Pittsburgh, where he played all 45 of his career games. He made seven starts with the Steelers – five at center and two at left guard. Hassenauer, who played in all 17 games last season, has also appeared in two postseason contests and made one start at center.

A top reserve on the Crimson Tide’s offensive front, Hassenauer provided depth at both guard and center. He played in eight games in 2017 and made starts against Mercer, Auburn, and against Georgia in the CFP National Championship Game.
