NFL Draft: In the 5th Round, the Giants select Mitch Petrus G Arkansas

Mitch Petrus, Arkansas, 6-3, 310, 3-4: Keeping track of Petrus on and off the field was a significant chore. He was originally a walk-on tight end, then switched to offensive guard, then fullback and back to guard in 2007. Oh, and his first name is really Jonathan, but he goes by the short version of Mitchell, his middle name. When he finally settled in at guard, Petrus earned second-team all-SEC honors. But just when it seemed he’d found his way, Petrus missed the 2008 season because of an academic suspension. He returned for an outstanding season in 2009. The former 225-pound walk-on tied a combine record in the 225-pound bench press with 45 repetitions. – Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com/CBS Sports/USA TODAY

It was sort of worth not drafting Zoltan

Where did you come from? Snuck in out of the ‘Blue,’ shall we say.

He fits the run game perfectly: a mauling, pulling guard. He’ll be quicker than most guards since he was a fullback and TE previously. Obviously, his bench press numbers show that he’s very strong.
