Former Tennessee linebacker and tight end Jakob Johnson signed with the Giants in the NFL on Friday.

“The New York Giants today signed veteran tight end/fullback Jakob Johnson, who has played in 67 games in his NFL career and made 34 starts,” New York announced. “In a corresponding move, the Giants waived/injured tight end Tyree Jackson.”

Johnson originally signed with New England as a free agent through the NFL International Player Pathway Program.

Johnson played tight end and linebacker for the Vols from 2014-17 under head coach Butch Jones.

The former Vol went to Tennessee from Jean Ribault High School in Jacksonville, Florida.
