The New York Giants have reportedly added two more players as undrafted free agents -- South Carolina running back Kenny Miles and Virginia Tech wide receiver Marcus Davis. That brings to seven the total number of UDFAs brought in by the Giants.
The full list:
New York Giants Alonzo Tweedy, LB/S, Virginia Tech
Etienne Sabino, LB, Ohio State
Chase Clement, TE LSU
Charles James, DB, Charleston Southern
Charles Dieuseul, LB Mount Union
Kenny Miles, RB, South Carolina
Marcus Davis, WR, Virginia Tech
We profiled the first five UDFA signings on Sunday. Now, let's take a look at what we can learn about Miles and Davis.
Kenny Miles, RB, South Carolina
Miles, a fifth-year senior, got a full opportunity in 2012 when Marcus Lattimore shredded his knee. The 5-foot-9, 193-pounder rushed for 359 yards on 104 carries (3.5 yards per carry) and caught 20 passes. Miles ran a 4.50 40-yard dash at the South Carolina Pro Day, with a 36.5-inch vertical jump.
[UPDATE: There is now a report that Miles will join the Redskins, not the Giants. These UDFA signings and reports are all very fluid, and it's difficult sometimes to know who has the right information.]
Marcus Davis, WR, Virginia Tech
CBS Sports had Davis, who is 6-foot-3, 233 pounds, rated as a potential late-round pick. Here is part of the pre-draft scouting report from CBS:
Davis possesses some eye-popping measurables, and will probably rise up draft boards on his pre-draft workouts alone. A close look at game tape, however, shows a receiver who, although tremendously gifted, lacks fundamental consistency and tends to coast at times with his effort. He'll have to convince scouts that he's hungry to improve if he's to go any higher than the fifth round, despite having elite talent.
Tony Pauline of TFY Draft Insider also indicated that Davis is a physically gifted player who under-achieved on the field.
Davis was highly rated by NFL scouts coming into the season, yet failed to elevate his game or meet expectations. He offers next level physical skills but must learn to do the little things well and play to his level of potential.
Davis, who posted a 4.47 40-yard dash, caught 51 passes for 953 yards and five touchdowns as a senior.
