Ex-Giant Cody Latimer dominating in XFL as a tight end

Cody Latimer has smoothly transitioned to tight end as he has dominated the competition in the XFL.

Latimer started his career with the Denver Broncos in 2014 as a wide receiver where he spent four seasons. However, Latimer was not really in the mix for Denver during that time. He only started three games, and most of his snaps came from special teams.

In 2018, Latimer opted for a scenery change and went to East Rutherford to join the New York Giants. There, the wide-out recorded 490 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 35 receptions. Latimer was also heavily involved in the return game where he recorded 590 kickoff return yards in 2019 for Big Blue.

Since then, Latimer has transitioned to tight end and is now a member of the Orlando Guardians of the XFL. There he has been a force to be reckoned with as he leads tight ends with two touchdowns and 155 yards receiving.

Meanwhile, former Giant Trent Harris leads the league in sacks (4.5) and tackles for a loss (6). Niko Lalos is fourth in the league with three tackles for a loss.
