If You See the Giants Sign Undrafted Rookies, Post Here

From Online Athens:

"Notes: At least four Georgia players reached agreements to sign as undrafted free agents as of Sunday night.

Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe will sign with Baltimore, according to his agent James "Butch" Williams. Ellerbe, who shared a Sports Illustrated cover with Stafford and Moreno before last season, had off-field issues early in his college career, but led Georgia in tackles as a junior before having only 33 as a senior when he was slowed by a knee injury.

Fullback Brannan Southerland plans to sign with the New York Jets, his mother said.

Receiver Kenneth Harris said he will sign with New Orelans and receiver Demiko Goodman said he will sign with Pittsburgh."

he was the only pick i got right last year (actually i did not even get him right because I had the Giants taking him in the 6th)

I've been thinking he'll be a stud for the last four years. Tremendous speed but never put it all together. If we didn't have Hedgecock I would have been pushing hard for us to sign Southerland. Would have loved for us to sign Ellerbe as well.

He averaged over 10 yards per return as a punt returner this year.

...However, the team that does draft Wiley, even if he slips to the fourth or fifth round, may find they got a steal. ...

I dont recall The Giants ever doing this before...

Am I wrong? They must really like this guy...

the signing bonuses are small, so there's minimal cap hit to cut them.

6-7 270...

Thats Canty big...

6'7" 270lbs.

But the first night?

I could be wrong....

Looks like he was a reserve DE

Tall guy at 6"6 and 228. Looks like he played LB for FSU.

not sure what the timing of it means. obviously everybody is scrambling to get guys signed, so maybe the 3-year term sweetens it and they give him a little more bonus. it really doesn't matter though since they can be cut with virtually no consequences for the cap.

it's been said that it's better to be a udfa than a 7th round pick because potentially you have more options. this may be such a case. you are probably right though, there is probably some variation in the contract terms for udfas.

was invited for a tryout on May 7th. He's a DE/LB but would most likely play LB for us.

Ingram was a ST ace. S/LB type.

BBI as as source in Garfolo"

And the diehards over at BBI have their own report on S Sha'Reff Rashad (Central Florida) signing with the Giants."

I'm breaking stories in the NY press!

I'm sure the injury history was a problem, but well worth a UDFA contract.

He got almost everything from this thread and just gave credit to the original sources linked here.

Happy to do your job for ya, Mikey!!!

on other teams?

Its hard enough to keep up with everything.

he could have been more sought after if he didn't get injured last season.

6'6...and in some places he's listed as a Safety.

but it turned into a pissing match at one point, plus people are reporting on other teams. It would be nice to have a list compiled.

Quote:

Kenny Ingram (6'6" 230) OLB: Personally one of my favorite potential NFL players. He came in out of JUCO as a SS, but moved to LB his Sr. year. He's a big hitter and is great in coverage. He still has room to grow because he was trying to stay slim to stay at safety. Still learning how to play LB, but is a great athlete for the position and could start out as a nickle LB and grow into a full time player. Late rounds or UFA.

Kenny Ingram - ( New Window )

Running back from Wyoming?

Quote:

Ingram, who has an internship to complete his degree in rehabilitative services this summer, has been working out with former FSU assistant track coach Tom Shaw in Orlando. Some teams are interested in Ingram as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. Others see the 235-pound Ingram as a safety.

we have signed 6 so far?

take to Training Camp? I believe it's 80?

by the above bbi'ers

Ran a 4.52 at his pro day. Wow. Can you imagine him at safety, at 6-6, 230 pounds? Dayum.

can someone make a running list? thanks!

DB Kenny Ingram, Florida State, N.Y. Giants

DB Vince Anderson, Webber International, N.Y. Giants

DB Sha'reff Rashad, Central Florida, N.Y. Giants

Just sayin'. Come on, Jerry, Shaun O'Hara's getting lonely.

He was pretty much the best player on that MSU defense. If he can play specials, he's got a shot to make the squad.

remember UVA ran a 3-4, so he probably translates more to a DT in the 4-3. He was OK, but I doubt he makes the team ultimately.

DE from Troy has an invite

Quote:

Defensive end Kenny Mainor, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the team’s third game, was invited by the New York Giants for a tryout on May 7. The team wants to see how his knee holds up, but Mainor participated in all Pro Day drills for scouts.

Temple had the Mainor invite already, my bad.

DT Dwayne Hendricks, Miami, N.Y. Giants

or DJ Hall threads start? That said, it's always nice to root for the underdog. Good luck to all these guys.

Here is a short video on Hendricks.

Another interesting note in this blog, only one Miami Hurricane drafted this year (Spencer Adkins.) That's pretty crazy when you think of how many NFL players were produced by that program.
Link - ( New Window )

POSITIVES: Explosive defender who plays with a nasty streak. Fires off the snap, quickly shoots the gaps of the offensive line, and nicely redirects to the action. Possesses a short burst of speed bearing down on ball handlers.

NEGATIVES: Easily controlled at the point by a single blocker or altogether engulfed by opponents. Marginally productive, and has never been a consistent starter.

ANALYSIS: Hendricks is a size/speed prospect whose abilities on the field pale in comparison to his athletic skills. He's a developmental prospect, but he must quickly produce in camp this summer for any chance of sticking on a practice squad.

PROJECTION: Free Agent

But nice shout out by Ralph, linking to this thread.

And second, I’ve found two places that are doing a great job of keeping track: The people over at BBI are keeping a thread open with updates and discussions. And there’s a full (and unofficial) list of league-wide signings at NEPatriotsDraft.com.

Giants start signing UDFAs - ( New Window )

I became obsessed with this guy before the draft, haha. Sorry for yelling.

he was signed by Seattle

as the 14th best Safety in his predraft analysis of the safety group.

to see Giants bring in K Sam Swank from WF. Before his injury last year, he was considered the best K in the country.
