Feliciano, 31, was drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the then-Oakland Raiders. He has experience at every O-line position except for right tackle across seven seasons with the Raiders and Buffalo Bills.
He started 15 games at center in his eighth NFL campaign for a Giants team that made it to the NFC Divisional Playoff. Also, Feliciano allowed three sacks in 971 offensive snaps during the NFL season with New York.
