The Long Island native played in 113 games with 61 starts after being selected by the Oakland Raiders in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL draft out of Miami.

Feliciano played four seasons with the Raiders before moving on to Buffalo for three years. He then joined the Giants for the 2022 season before ending his career with the San Francisco 49ers.

Feliciano had this to say about his time with the Giants:

“I always wanted to play in New York (I know it’s in New Jersey, but it’s right there; relax). The year I got to spend there was incredible,” he wrote. “Helping the Giants win a postseason game in Minnesota was definitely my favorite moment of that year. I get to rub it in my wife’s family’s faces for the rest of my life. And if you know me, you know I love talking (expletive).”

Feliciano, who did not play a single down in 2024 for the Niners after undergoing knee surgery, said he might answer a call this December to help a team during a playoff run. He mentioned the 49ers and Bills.

Maybe that team could end up being the Giants?
