The New York Giants took a gamble by selecting pass rusher Jason Paul-Pierre in the first round of the NFL Draft.
The Giants, among many other teams in the draft, are enamored with the athleticism of the defensive end.
New York was set on taking linebacker Rolando McClain, but the Oakland Raiders took him at No. 8.
Paul-Pierre reminds many of former Tennessee Titans star defensive end Jevon Kearse, who had many productive years in the league.
At the same time, Paul-Pierre is very raw and also has the look of a potential bust if he doesn’t continue to develop.

The New York Jets and New York Giants will play each other in the preseason to open up their new stadium.
The teams typically play each other later in the preseason, but will face off this year on August 16.
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the fight to see which team would get to play their regular season home opener at the stadium.
The Giants won the right on a coin flip, only for the Jets to then protest the decision to the league office.
The league came up with a viable solution, allowing the Giants to open it up Sunday and then the Jets to play at home on Monday night.

The New York Giants have re-signed 44-year old veteran punter Jeff Feagles.
Feagles signed a one-year deal and will compete for a roster spot with an Australian rules football player.
Despite his age, Feagles has been a model of consistency, having never missed a game in his 22-year career.
He also holds most of the significant punting records, some of which can be attributed to his longevity in the game.
He has played in an NFL-record 352 consecutive games, and trails just a couple of veteran place kickers for most games played in a career.
