At least one of the players who tried out for the Giants at rookie camp over the weekend earned himself an NFL contract.
According to my friends up at WNYT in Albany (http://wnyt.com/article/stories/S440552.shtml?cat=300), former University at Albany tackle Jacob Hobbs has agreed to sign with the Giants. The 6-3, 303-pounder was playing for the Albany Conquest of Arena Football 2. According to the report, he’s been offered a two-year contract with the Giants.
Hobbs would be the 77th player on the Giants’ roster, which would leave them three more open spots to fill (not including the spots that will eventually go to their seven unsigned draft choices). ...
That leaves UAlbany with 4 players currently on NFL rosters:
Rashad Barksdale - KC Chiefs
Kurt Campbell - Tenn. Titans
Andre Coleman - SD Chargers
Jacob Hobbs - Giants
Geir Gudmensen is also on Tampa Bay Storm's AFL roster.
