Guest Lockhart Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This is great and the kid is a very hard worker. At 6'7", he could be another Antonio Gates - let that headcase Shockey stay in Miami - this kid will show up and work with the Giants. LewisNewGiantTE Giants agree to terms with basketball player Lewis 5/1/2006, 11:44 a.m. ET The Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants said Monday they have agreed to terms with rookie free agent Jai Lewis, who has not played organized football since high school but who played forward on the George Mason University basketball team that reached the Final Four this spring. Lewis, who is listed at 6-foot-7, 275 pounds, is projected by NFL scouts as a defensive lineman or tight end. He played defensive tackle, tight end and fullback in high school. At George Mason, he helped the Patriots reach the Final Four, where they lost 73-58 to Florida. Lewis scored 20 points in George Mason's 86-84 upset win over Connecticut in the regional final. The Giants did not immediately disclose the terms of the deal. The team planned to hold a teleconference later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Floyd The Barber Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 So you're agreeing with me, even though you said he came in fat last year? Caught in a another lie, and owned again. Thanks for coming out kid. this is getting better and better, not only do we draft nobody guys, from nobody programs, but now we are signing FA that play other sports in hopes that they can become football players !!! hahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahaha, this org. is a complete joke !!!

boohyah Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Lewis is a perfect choice to go the NFL europe, but anybody that spoke to him told him he needs to play offensive line and not tight end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lockhart Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I wonder if Shockey even knows the draft has occurred - I've heard he and Plaxico have been on a two week bender - never sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Grimes Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'm betting Lewis will have to play on the line. His 40 times were pretty damn slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very interesting signing and I like the idea. Hey, You never know unless you try. I'm going to really root for him to make the team.

It is a sign of a GM panicking - I think even the Giant FO knows how bad this offseason is perceived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermin79 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 It is a sign of a GM panicking - I think even the Giant FO knows how bad this offseason is perceived. Actually the Giants have had as good a year in this offseason than any other that I can remember. I really like the approach that they have taken and I have very high ambitions for next season. The only position that I'm worried about is DT and I'm still a little worried about the secondary, but that'll go away if Webster shows me something in the preseason. He is still a big ? right now.

Guest Carbo Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 It seems the Giants know what they have in Manning. So a few 7' receivers running around on passing plays might help his completion percentage go from 36% or whatever the hell it was, to a more respectable number. Now if they can only get hold of Manute Bol. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, great offseason - it isn't every offseason you draft a tackle named pussy, Wimp, or whatever his name is - he should strike fear into the opponent.

xxi-xxv Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 when i was in high school giants players would come each year and play the coaches in a charity basketball game back in the early 90's. pepper, banks, ingrim, hampton all played. Imagine if the giants back then had a d1 bb player on the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
