Finally some good post lockout news. Although I still fail to see how this stops Eli from losing the game?

teams will regret not taking him in the draft. Will be a starter by year 2

Well then you may experience the pleasure of watching him fall short of his potential year after year.

7-2 start, 1-6 finish. 2011 NY Giants. BTW, he’ll amount to nothing.

Is it possible that the reason no team drafted him is because no one wanted to be the team that cut him and ended his redemption story?

Damn it!… I wanted to see this young man in Silver & Black!!…

Regardless, best of luck to him… Nice acquisition for the Giants!

Good for you Mark. Would have liked to have you in Carolina. You will be one heck of a leader on the team and in the community.

One caveat….screw the damned Giants.

According to himself. The Eagles, Ravens and Giants showed the most interest. So maybe Detroit didn’t offer him anything like that. Congrats to him though. How can’t you like this guy.

It’s a nice story, but let’s be realistic here…there’s a reason he was undrafted.”

Yeah, its called cancer. Go back and look at what this kid was the year before he was diagnosed. He was a top 3 college LB. He lost some speed and size due to treatment. THAT is why he wasnt drafted, if he recovers completely he will be fine.

He should have signed with the Detroit Lions. Because of their linebacker situatuion, he’d play there. Maybe even start.

Great move. Glad he landed w/a big time team so his story can continue to be told. Even gladder he didn’t end up with the Ravens, as was rumored earlier today. Wishing you well Mark!

The instant he signed he became the best LB on our roster.

i really hope this guy takes off and regains his form.

Honestly, I am kinda pissed that the Eagles didn’t get him.

even though he’s a giant, i will support this guy as long as he’s in the league.
that’s saying a lot, cause i F’n HATE THE GIANTS.

best of luck kid.

First-rate person and they simply don’t come any tougher. He had one of the worst cancers you can get and still managed to get back on the field. Not happy with his team selection but thrilled for him personally.

NOOOO!! I wanted the Bills to grab this guy so badly.

Giants could disappoint you again if they end up signing Poz too.

God, it’s move like this that make me envy the giants. First they get prince in the draft and get a steal with this man. While my cowboys continue to sign more LB, WR, RB and never address the secondary. It’s going to be a tough season.

Herzlich is immortalized in the Gatorade “Everything To Prove” series, though. I don’t think he would complain about being invited to the draft. Those clips will be around long after his career has finished.

Good for him. Hope the guy does well. That’s at least one benefit of not getting drafted, is he got to pretty much pick where ever he wanted to go. Just glad it wasn’t a team that a can’t stand.

Gotta give it up for our front office and coughlin’s BC influence nabbing the prized UDFA on the market.

Could be a Jessie Armstead in the making.

Congrats to the Giants, if this kid can get anywhere close to where he was in 2008 they just got a great player.

I was hoping the Patriots would sign him, but I wish him the best of luck.

Coughlin will be on the hot seat by week 6.

^ nah, coughlin’s giants dominate the first half of the season, it’s the second half when he’ll be on the hot seat.

He’ll make their team. They need LBs badly.

I wish him well, I was hoping the Packers landed him, although I admit he fits best in a 4-3.

Love this! Eagles can have Casey Mathews.
