No, not a Big Blue guy, but if you knew what happened during his workout in Florida, the Giants were going to offer him a contract on the spot. He's the first European drafted, but one did play here in the past, two other Europeans are on practice squads & Big Blue has their own French receiver to deal with

1. Then how did we sign Dable?
2. Why would the league interfere and nullify our great scouting?
I hate Goodell more than the next guy, but...
The league screwed the Giants by allowing the kid to choose his favorite team by forcing the kid to go through the draft process where he is forced to play for whatever team picks him instead of letting him sign a free agent deal with whoever he wants?
I guess this could be a joke going over my head, but somehow I doubt it.
