CONFIRMED UDFA Signings Thread

Matt in SGS : 4/29/2017 4:45 pm
Since the draft is now over, it's a BBI tradition that we have a thread that collects all the confirmed UDFA signees. This thread is not meant to be a wish list, but rather a running updated list of players signed- with validation with a link or twitter confirmation.

Things usually start picking up a couple hours after the draft, so figure around 7ish tonight we should get word of players who the Giants will be bringing in.

football, he may end up as a steal. Those are HUGE ifs, but I love the gamble as an UNDFA.


Kirwan has said all along that if this kid could ever get his head screwed on right and get serious about football he could be one of the best OL in this class.

Yes, that's correct, I forgot the Giants traded their 7th and only had 6 draft picks.

71 on the current roster, 6 draft picks = 77.

13 spots.

Really - wondering the same thing.

We have his stats. What we don't have is his full name, what position he plays and the biggest question of all, "did he sign with the Giants??????"

Really rooting for him. This young man is a good human being and no surprise the Giants selected him given our predisposition to grab character guys. Would be great to see him crack the squad.

Big possession receiver on a shitty team. Ran a 4.57 and did 25 reps on the bench. 7 flat on his 3 cone, 1.64 10 yard split, 35.5" very, 11' broad. Pro day numbers though. Could surprise.

Watch him in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. He was unbelievable. Had over 200 yards in receiving. He ran a slow 40 which is why he went undrafted.


If he had come back for his senior year, he would've been drafted.

Good point. There's a lot of that every year.

On another note, this kind of thing blows my mind. From Jessamen Dunker's NFL.com writeup:

Can be rag-dolled at point of attack by power.

He's 6'-4," 318 pounds.

Agreed. ESPN or the NFL Network did a story on that during the draft. It was great.
