GIANTS SIGN 11 UNDRAFTED ROOKIE FREE AGENTS…
The New York Giants have officially confirmed that they have signed 11 undrafted rookie free agents:

• FB Jeremiah Hall, 6’2’’, 248lbs, 4.96, University of Oklahoma (Video)
  Built more like an H-Back or fullback than tight end, Hall was used in the slot, inline, and out of the backfield in college. Hall is a good receiver who runs tough after the catch. Good blocker.
• TE Andre Miller, 6’3’’, 220lbs, 4.54, University of Maine (Video)
  Miller was a big receiver in college with good overall athletic ability. The Giants intend to convert him to tight end.
• TE Austin Allen, 6’9’’, 255lbs, 4.83, University of Nebraska (Video)
  Allen is a tall, narrow tight end with a big catch radius and sure hands. He gives an effort in the blocking department, but is more of a position blocker given his frame.
• OG Josh Rivas, 6’6’’, 317lbs, 5.32, Kansas State University (Video)
  Rivas is a big lineman with decent athleticism for his size. He needs a lot of technique work.
• DL Christopher Hinton, 6’4’’, 310lbs, 5.28, University of Michigan (Video)
  Hinton lacks ideal size and athleticism, but he is a tough, strong run defender. He plays with leverage and holds his ground. Hinton does not offer much as a pass rusher. Reliable and he plays hard.
• DL Jabari Ellis, 6’3’’, 278lbs, 4.77, University of South Carolina (Video)
  Ellis was a team captain who played six seasons in college.
• DL Antonio Valentino, 6’3’’, 312lbs, 5.27, University of Florida (Video)
  Valentino is a big, strong, hard-working lineman who lacks ideal athletic ability and quickness.
• CB Darren Evans, 6’3’’, 174lbs, 4.53, LSU (Video)
  Evans is a tall, thin corner who has decent overall athleticism. He is aggressive against the run. Evans needs to make more plays on the ball.
• CB Zyon Gilbert, 6’1’’, 182lbs, 4.42, Florida Atlantic University (Video)
  Gilbert played both safety and cornerback in college. He combines good size and overall athleticism and speed. Gilbert is aggressive against the run, but he needs work in coverage in terms of his anticipation skills and technique.
• S Yusuf Corker, 6’0’’, 197lbs, 4.53, Kentucky, University of Kentucky (Video)
  A physical, aggressive, and instinctive safety, Corker makes plays on the ball both as a run and pass defender. A bit stiff, he lacks ideal speed and change-of-direction skills. He needs to become a more consistent tackler.
• S Trenton Thompson, 6’2’’, 200lbs, 4.58, San Diego State University (Video)
  Despite playing six years in college, Thompson only became a full-time starter in his final season. He has good size, but lacks ideal speed. Instinctive, he does play faster than he times. Big hitter. Thompson is a good special teams player.
