EAST RUTHERFORD, NY — The New York Giants have signed wide receiver Braxton Berrios.

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound wideout of Puerto Rican heritage has played in 91 games with six starts for the New York Jets (2019-2022), Miami Dolphins (2023-2024) and Houston Texans (2025). He was originally drafted by the New England Patriots in the sixth round (No. 210 overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft, but he landed on injured reserve prior to the start of the season. He was then waived during final roster cuts the following year, which led to him landing with the Jets.

The 30-year-old’s career totals include 140 receptions for 1,360 yards and six touchdowns along with 20 rush attempts for 171 yards and four touchdowns.

Berrios (Raleigh, North Carolina) has also played a big role on special teams over the years. He has returned 100 punts for 1,130 yards (11.3 avg.) and 91 kickoffs for 2,265 yards (24.9 avg.) and one touchdown. He was named first-team All-Pro as a returner in 2021 when he averaged 13.4 yards per punt return in addition to 30.4 yards per kickoff return, the latter of which led the NFL.

Prior to being drafted, Berrios played four seasons at Miami where he caught 100 passes for 1,175 yards and 14 touchdowns and also returned 47 punts for 487 yards (10.4 avg.) and an additional score. His best season came as a senior when he brought in 55 passes for 679 yards and nine touchdowns, all of which were career-highs, and also averaged a career-best 15.9 yards per punt return.
