Aaron Curry is hoping to resurrect his career with the New York Giants.

And the linebacker says he will do so without the pressure of trying to live up to being the fourth overall pick in the 2009 draft.

Curry says that pressure overwhelmed him in Seattle.

“It was a burden early on in my career,” Curry told Giants.com. “It was a stress to me. I definitely felt a lot of pressure and I think the biggest mistake I made was I didn’t accept the pressure as a positive influence. I kind of saw it as a negative influence.

“Instead of accepting the role, I kind of wanted to be my own person,” he continued. “I didn’t want to be seen as just the fourth pick in the draft. I wanted to be seen as Aaron Curry. Early on, I focused a lot on my own individual success versus doing what it took to help the team be successful.”

His individual success wasn’t what anybody thought it would be coming into the league out of Wake Forest as the Butkus Award winner. He had 5.5 sacks in his first two seasons for the Seahawks but hasn’t had a sack since 2010. After three seasons in Seattle, Curry was traded to Oakland where he lasted less than two seasons before being waived.

Curry had knee issues that slowed him down and now he says he’s healthy and ready to reach the vast potential that the Giants thought he had coming out of Wake Forest.

“The knee is great,” Curry said. “I went from struggling with stairs to being able to come here and go through a full workout.”

The Giants want Curry to lose about 10 pounds and they believe he can help at either the SAM or middle linebacker positions. They currently have Jacquian Williams, Dan Connor, Keith Rivers, Mark Herzlich and Spencer Paysinger at linebacker. Mathias Kiwanuka may continue in his hybrid linebacker/defensive end role but the Giants will need somebody to fill Osi Umenyiora’s role as the third defensive end and Kiwanuka seems like the most logical choice.

“I really believe I have the ability to be an impact linebacker on this defense,” Curry said. “I feel like I can affect each play that I’m in the game.”

Perhaps Curry can finally play free now that he no longer feels the need to live up to enormous expectations.

“I feel like having been freed from that burden, that pressure and now I’m more interested in doing whatever it takes to help a team win,” he said. “And bring a positive energy and a selfless mindset versus being all about being the fourth pick in the draft. I think that’s allowed me to be more sociable with my teammates and not be so stressed out.”

“I’m not looking for any sympathy, but to me it became a job,” he later added. “My mom and my wife said, ‘You’re not the same person,’ and my response was because it became a job. But when I got to Oakland something just clicked. I just got back to having fun. I worried less about mistakes.”

Curry played in just two games in 2012 due to his knee issue. Curry and the Giants are eager to see what he can do pain-free and stress-free.

“The goal is to be the best Aaron Curry that I’ve ever been,” he said. “I have a different mindset on life and football. So I think I’ll handle the situation a lot better than I have before.”

Charles Woodson will continue to weigh his options and take another AFC visit out west.

According to NFL Network, the safety will visit with one of his old teams -- Oakland -- on Tuesday. And Woodson has received an offer from Denver according to NFL Network. The former Packers defensive back visited with the Broncos recently.

Carl Poston, Woodson's agent, told ESPN's Josina Anderson that the Giants "just put their toe in the water again for Charles Woodson" on Thursday. The Giants expressed an interest in Woodson earlier in free agency.

If Woodson, 36, still has something left in the tank and more importantly is willing to come for likely something close to the veteran minimum, the safety makes sense for the Giants for several reasons.

Dwight Freeney would love to play for the Giants, according to his father.

"His heart is with ... talking to him, he would love to be with the Giants," Hugh Freeney told Sirius radio's Adam Schein. "But the Giants unfortunately ... doesn't have the money for it. They're broke."

The Giants are always conscious of their salary cap and want to sign veteran free agents for minimum-type deals. Freeney would certainly seem like a good fit in the Osi Umenyiora role but the Giants have Mathias Kiwanuka, Adrian Tracy, Adewale Ojomo, Justin Trattou and third-round pick Damontre Moore behind Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul. And Freeney, of course, is going to look for the best deal he can get.

If the Giants are going to sign any veterans such as Freeney or safety Charles Woodson, it will have to be on the cheap. The Giants have to manage their cap smartly as they try to extend Victor Cruz to a long-term extension and eventually want to do the same with Hakeem Nicks, who is entering the final year of his deal. And later down the road they'll have to take care of Pierre-Paul.

Roster moves: The Giants waived/injured TE Michael Palmer and CB Antonio Dennard. They signed tight end Morgan Newton off a tryout at rookie camp.

Charles Woodson is one of the many veteran free agents still available, and the Giants are always in the market for veterans on the cheap.

Woodson's agent, Carl Poston, told ESPN's Josina Anderson that "The Giants have just put their toe in the water again for Charles Woodson."

If Woodson, 36, is willing to accept an affordable deal, the move makes sense. If healthy, Woodson would be an intriguing piece.

He could instantly be one Perry Fewell's top three safeties. He would provide the kind of veteran voice and leadership that the team had when Deon Grant was roaming around as the third safety. Woodson would immediately add to the leadership in a locker room that lost Ahmad Bradshaw, Chris Canty, Osi Umenyiora, Chase Blackburn, Michael Boley and Kenny Phillips this offseason.

And if he's still playing at a high level, Woodson could challenge Stevie Brown to start opposite Antrel Rolle. He could also provide the team with a veteran who can play corner if needed, be but my guess is he would be a safety and help cover if needed in certain packages or in case of injuries to other corners.

Woodson recently left a visit with the Broncos without a deal, according to the Denver Post. And he also reportedly has the Panthers and Raiders interested in him. So he might have options.

It remains to be seen just how interested the Giants are, but it certainly doesn't hurt to look.

Hightower update: Another veteran free agent the Giants have been interested in is running back Tim Hightower. The Washington Post reports that the Giants and Redskins are interested in Hightower. The Post says that the Giants could meet with Hightower again in a couple of weeks, according to a source.

Hightower tore his ACL in 2011 with the Redskins and attempted a comeback, but was released last year in final cuts. If healthy, Hightower could provide the Giants with a third running back who can catch out of the backfield. At the moment, the Giants have Da'Rel Scott, Ryan Torain and seventh-round pick Michael Cox behind David Wilson and Andre Brown.

Tell us if you want to see the Giants go after Woodson and how you think he might help.

When Damontre Moore first arrived to the Giants facility last week, the rookie defensive end found a note in his locker stall.

The note was from Justin Tuck. The defensive captain had a message for the team’s newest quarterback-sacking prospect: "I hope you are ready to work."

"They need to know that this year has to be our best year," Tuck said of the Giants’ second and third-round picks DT Johnathan Hankins and Moore. "I don’t want to call them our weakest link but they are the new guys so they don’t know our system, how we get down. So right now they are our weakest link and you are only as strong as your weakest link."

Let the first lesson begin for the young Moore. The team drafted the productive defensive end out of Texas A&M to augment a pass rush that stalled out last season and learn from veterans like Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul and Mathias Kiwanuka.

And while Tom Coughlin likes what he has seen out of Moore on game film, the head coach said Moore needs to improve on his practice habits leading up to game days.

Moore, 20, is very young and the Giants are ready to mold him into their next pass rushing prodigy.

"That wasn’t one of my strong fortes," Moore admitted of his practice habits. "But I’m here to work and I’m trying to make my weakness my strong point. It’s nothing but motivation and good criticism so for a talented guy to point out my flaws like that and tell me what I need to work on, all that means is I need to go in there and work on it that much harder."

The Giants loved what they saw out of the 6-5, 255-pound Moore on Saturdays. He had a total of 26.5 sacks in three seasons at Texas A&M, including 12.5 sacks this past season. He was used in a "joker" role in which he rushed standing up as a hybrid linebacker while also rushing as a defensive end. It’s no wonder why Moore grew up emulating Dallas’ DeMarcus Ware.

Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell has used Kiwanuka in a hybrid linebacker/defensive end role and Moore appears to fit the build for the future.

At the moment, the Giants have Pierre-Paul and Tuck as starters and Kiwanuka could assume Osi Umenyiora’s role as the third pass rusher. Adrian Tracy, Adewale Ojomo and Justin Trattou will compete for the fourth end spot.

Certainly Moore, who could play on special teams, would like to be in that mix as well when the Giants go to their NASCAR four defensive end package.

"That gives me a lot of excitement," Moore said of being surrounded by experienced and successful pass rushers. "I’m just sitting here trying to soak it all in. I’m ready to get to work and hopefully a little bit of that rubs off on me and I can have a little success."

That’s certainly what Tuck wants to hear. He also wants the rookies to develop thick skin because the ultra-competitive defensive line room is no place for mentally-fragile rookies.

"I want those guys to come in with the attitude knowing that this year is all about working," Tuck said. "It is not about what we have done or haven’t done. It is a brand new year and instill in them early that this team is going to work our ass off to get back to where we feel we should be -- a consistent football team that makes the playoffs and wins the last game."

There was a lot of talk Tuesday about Victor Cruz's extension negotiations with the Giants.

It started with rumblings by reporters on social media that the Pro Bowl receiver could be nearing an agreement. Then the New York Post reported that the two parties "are on the 2-yard-line" as far as nearing a potential long-term extension. Cruz also told the paper that things were "moving."

On Tuesday afternoon, two sources told ESPNNewYork.com that nothing was imminent. NFL Network, USA Today, the New York Daily News and the Bergen Record all reported the same, that talks are ongoing but nothing was imminent.

NFL Network reported on Tuesday night "that the next few days are viewed as important, with talks planned."

Giants co-owner John Mara has continually expressed optimism that a deal will get done and there certainly seems to be no reason to believe anything otherwise. There's no division between either side. Cruz has handled everything the right way, shying away from controversy by not talking about his deal. He was also seen exchanging pleasantries with head coach Tom Coughlin at the BTIG charity event on Tuesday in the city.

While there's no looming deadline or pressure to get anything done in the immediate future, the Giants certainly would love to get Cruz in the facility for voluntary OTAs. Eli Manning said Monday that he would love for Cruz to be in attendance when the offense begins facing the defense next week.

So something could always get done soon if more progress is made. If not, the two sides have time to get something done. The Giants don't have a mandatory function until veterans' minicamp next month. Shortly after that, the team can significantly reduce the one-year RFA tender of $2.879 million offered to Cruz if the Giants opt to go that route.

It's hard seeing the Giants doing that. Both sides want the same thing. They just need to come closer on a number. By the sounds of things on Tuesday, the Giants and Cruz are talking, and that's a good thing.

There were rumblings circulating Tuesday that things might be heating up with Victor Cruz's contract negotiations.

But two sources said there is nothing imminent at the moment and that it appears it is status quo in talks between Cruz and the New York Giants on a potential extension.

Co-owner John Mara has maintained that he is optimistic a deal will get done eventually to keep the star receiver in blue. Cruz, in an appearance at BTIG Charity Day in the city, politely declined comment and has remained quiet about his contract this offseason.

"That's smart," Eli Manning said at the BTIG event. "I think that is a good idea for him. There is nothing he can say right now that is going to make anything better or worse. I think it is best to lay low."

Manning, who shares the same agent (Tom Condon) with Cruz, said Monday night at a charity event for Guiding Eyes for the Blind that he was hoping Cruz could practice with the team as soon as next week, when the offense faces the defense in Phase 2 of the offseason training activities program.

But OTAs are voluntary and Cruz doesn't have to participate. Next month there is a mandatory veteran's minicamp.

Cruz ran into Giants head coach Tom Coughlin in the elevator lobby at the BTIG event and the two exchanged pleasantries for a minute

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- While Victor Cruz tries to hammer out a new extension, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride will take a long look at what Jerrel Jernigan can do in the slot.

Gilbride is confident he will have Cruz in the slot when the Giants play this season. But it doesn't hurt to prepare Jernigan if Cruz sits out voluntary OTA workouts.

"I guess I have great confidence that it's going to get done, so I don't give it a lot of thought because I know he wants to be here," Gilbride said last week about Cruz. "I'll be honest with you, I'm kind of excited until he gets back. I'm certainly looking forward to him getting back. But certainly I'm looking forward to seeing Jerrel Jernigan and what he can do inside."

Jernigan was drafted in the third round in 2011 as a slot receiver. Until Cruz comes to a long-term extension deal with the Giants, the coaching staff should give Jernigan more reps in the slot with Eli Manning.

"I know each year you are going to need new guys to step up," Manning said at a Guiding Eyes for the Blind event in White Plains on Monday. "[You] lose some guys, and if something happens you always want to be prepared. And hopefully Victor is back very soon and will play at a high level.

"Jerrel has to also be able to help us," Manning added. "He has speed and skills, he's been in the system now for a number of years. So hopefully he can step up and fill a role for us. The more talented guys you have on the team and make plays for you, the better off you will be."

Jernigan is entering his third season -– a time when some young receivers usually emerge into contributors and come into their own.

"I think it's about time that he steps up," Gilbride said. "And I think we feel he has enough ability and he's been here now long enough. Until Victor gets back, he'll be the main guy inside at the slot position.

"It's a chance for him to shine and step forward and do the things that we believe he can do. ... I think we want to see what Louis Murphy can do outside, but really it's JJ inside. It's going to be a great opportunity for him."

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Eli Manning hopes Victor Cruz will be able to join the Giants as soon as next week, when the team ramps up its practices in OTAs.

"We get into some real practices next week," Manning said at a Guiding Eyes for the Blind event on Monday night. "So hopefully as we get kind of into those live going-against-a-defense practices, he will get back in so we can get back to work.”

Cruz wants a long-term extension but the two sides have been apart in negotiations thus far. Cruz does not have to attend the team's OTA practices/workouts since they are voluntary, but the team will hold a mandatory veteran's minicamp next month.

Does Manning have a sense of what Cruz will do? "No, I don't," the quarterback said.

Manning and the Giants had a voluntary practice session Monday and the quarterback was pleased with "the commitment and energy." He also got to spend time with rookie quarterback Ryan Nassib on the practice field and in the meeting room.

"Seems like a good kid and talented," Manning said. "Got to see just a few games of film while he was at Syracuse. He is working hard and doing everything he can to learn the system and get up to speed on everything. Look forward to having him in the meeting room and getting to know him."

Our bud Dan Graziano over at the NFC East blog saw this earlier in John Clayton's mailbag.

Clayton was asked about the Victor Cruz contract saga:

Q: Is Victor Cruz going to accept the long-term contract the Giants are offering him? I think $7 million with a lot of guaranteed money is plenty for a slot receiver, and he also is getting a bunch from endorsements. Still, I'm worried.

-- Andrew in New York

Clayton: You should be worried. Tom Coughlin is worried. It's hard for a slot receiver to make more than $8 million a year. Cruz wants more. That's negotiating. I can't see the Giants going above $8 million, particularly knowing they might have to pay more to Hakeem Nicks if Nicks shows he's healthy. I think it would be good business if Cruz compromises, comes closer to the Giants' number, and then takes a deal that will leave him in position to get those endorsements. I have no problem with a player asking for the most money he can make. In this market, though, I worry what happens to the player if he lets a decent deal slip by and the money goes to another player.

Dan agrees with Clayton and offers his take by saying "Cruz probably has to end up being the one to make the first concession that ultimately gets the deal done."

Dan is right about the Giants organization typically being one that doesn't tend to blink when it comes to contract negotiations. The Giants certainly won't budge if Cruz opts to skip next month's mandatory minicamp. Remember, the Giants dealt with Osi Umenyiora holding out and complaining about his contract during training camp a few years ago.

I don't ever doubt Clayton, who knows a great deal about everything football, especially contracts. However -- and perhaps I am wrong -- I'm just not that worried right now. There's no reason yet to be worried. Veterans minicamp is certainly the first sign of what could come in the negotiations if Cruz attends or skips. And shortly after that, the Giants can opt to reduce the $2.879 million one-year RFA tender given to the receiver, should they choose to go that route. My guess is they wouldn't do that.

But to me the real indicator is training camp. If Cruz holds out, then it may be time to worry. If that were to happen, Cruz would be missing valuable time with the offense and Coughlin won't be pleased.

But until then, I'm going to lean on Cruz's good relationship with the team and the positive track record Cruz's agent, Tom Condon, has with the Giants in dealing with his other clients -- Eli Manning, Mathias Kiwanuka and Mark Herzlich. Condon might be able to work out a deal that makes sense to both sides. And I don't have any reason as of now to doubt John Mara's optimism that a deal will get done eventually.

Tell us if you are worried like Clayton says you might want to be.

New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch says Tim Tebow would have been better off playing anywhere but with the New York Jets.

Tisch told TMZ he thinks Tebow, who was released last month, might still be playing if the Jets had not traded for him in March 2012.

"I feel badly for the guy," Tisch said Sunday night in Los Angeles when stopped by TMZ as he was getting into his car. "Had another team picked him up after the Broncos, maybe he'd have a career. I think him going from the Broncos to the Jets was not in anybody's best interest."

Tebow attempted a total of eight passes and played sparingly with the Jets last season. The Jets never seemed to know how to use Tebow, who managed to consistently make headlines and back pages.

The Giants -- players and owners -- were amused with how Tebow garnered so much of the media attention in training camp last year while the Giants were the defending Super Bowl champions.

Less than a year later, Tebow is looking to get back in the NFL.

"I do feel badly for him," Tisch said. "I hope he plays football. I think he's got talent and I think he is probably a decent guy and not a bad quarterback. I sincerely wish him all the best."

A game-changer: Tisch said he also likes the Giants' recent addition of linebacker Aaron Curry. Tisch thinks the fourth overall pick in the 2009 draft can reach his potential with the Giants.

"He's got such an athletic talent," Tisch said. "I think he is going to do a really good job. I know he is going to be very focused in these [OTAs] through training camp. I'm glad we got him. I think he can be a real game-changer."

Tisch also is thrilled with the Giants' draft.

"I'm very happy with the draft," Tisch said. "We don’t draft sexy but we draft for the positions we feel that we need players. [Tom] Coughlin is a great coach and Jerry Reese is a great GM, so I am very happy. It all comes out in training camp."

The New York Giants signed six players to the roster over the weekend.

Joining new linebacker Aaron Curry will be defensive tackle Frank Okam, tight end Michael Palmer, wide receiver Jeremy Horne, cornerback Junior Mertile and safety John Stevenson.

The Giants waived tackle Levy Adcock, wide receiver Marcus Davis, defensive back Buddy Jackson, linebacker Charleus Dieseul, defensive tackle Bobby Skinner and kicker Jake Rogers to make room.

Okam, who was a fifth-round pick in 2008 by Houston, played for the Texans (2008-10) and Buccaneers (2010-11). Palmer played the previous three seasons for Atlanta and has 21 catches for 123 yards and three touchdowns.

Horne, 26, was teammates with Victor Cruz at UMass and the 6-2 receiver stood out at rookie camp. So did Mertile and Stevenson. Mertile is a 6-1 rookie tryout from Florida International. Stevenson, who had an interception off Ryan Nassib in practice on Friday, is a 5-11 rookie safety from Georgia Southern.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Giants had to run for cover halfway through Saturday's afternoon practice when thunder and lightening arrived at the Timex Performance Center field. It was the second showing for the rookies at the Giants' rookie minicamp.

The weather may have moved things around, but several of the newbies seemed to be getting more comfortable with the Giants' routine and playbook.

“The first day I was kind of thinking a little bit too much,” DT Johnathan Hankins said. “But I’m starting to relax and starting to get comfortable within the scheme of the defense and just be confident and go out there and make plays. I’m not trying to make plays that I can’t make. Just make the plays that come to me.”

CURRY ADDITION: Tom Coughlin was asked about signing LB Aaron Curry: “He worked out well for us,” Coughlin said. “Of course, he was the fourth pick in the draft. I looked at some of the grades, and the grades were outstanding. So he is anxious to have an opportunity and we are anxious to provide him with one. Hopefully, the two will meet and we will get a very talented player who can come into the Giant organization and play the way he was graded coming out of college.”

FEWELL EXCUSED: Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell left the Giants facility on Friday due to a death in his family. “We all feel very badly for Perry and his family," said Coughlin. "Perry did the best he could this week under difficult circumstances and then left out of here Friday.”

WILSON ON SPECIAL TEAMS: Special teams coordinator Tom Quinn said kickoff returner David Wilson could remain a member of the unit despite more of a role on offense. “He’s tremendous at doing that, and with his expanded role, we’ll see where it leads and hopefully someone else does step up,” Quinn said. “We like to have depth in those positions. We’ll see.”

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- They would drive down Interstate 476 in a Ford Explorer, Bruce Springsteen on the radio, trying to pass the four hours between Syracuse and the King of Prussia Mall in Eastern Pennsylvania as painlessly as possible. Justin Pugh, the Giants' first-round draft pick, supposes he and Ryan Nassib must have passed 180 hours in the Explorer as they drove home each summer weekend before football season started.

“When ‘Jungleland’ came on, that’s when we stared going a little bit faster,” Pugh said.

“We were big Philly fans,” Nassib said. “We’d talk about football for two hours. We’d talk about games, reminisce about old games. When you’re driving, you never know what’s going to come up.”

So they were Philly fans, but they will be changing their allegiance now that both have been drafted by the Giants. The moment that the offensive tackle realized he would keep protecting his road trip buddy in the pros, Pugh was pretty excited, and so was Nassib.

“We were ecstatic,” Nassib said. “We were pumped. We were like ‘How did this happen?’”

“I just got goose bumps,” Pugh said. “Because I said once I got drafted that whoever ends up with Ryan is going to be very, very lucky. And it just so happened that we ended up with him. He’s a great quarterback.”

Apparently, their new coach agrees. After the first of two Saturday practices, coach Tom Coughlin addressed reporters and was asked which of the rookies was starting to impress him.

“I think one of the things that continues to grow on you,” Coughlin said, “is the way the quarterback has responded to a new system and first time ever and showing some ability to lead in the huddle. And the huddle pays attention to him, and the offensive line seems to have responded pretty well to him, and he’s throwing the ball on occasion well.”

Nassib, who was projected all over the board but usually higher than the fourth round, said what happened on draft night has had an effect on him.

“It’s been big motivation, for sure,” he said. “It’s something that you really don’t talk about; you kind of keep it in. I mean, you don’t talk about it, but you play about it.”

He should get time to develop behind entrenched starter Eli Manning. That’s something Pugh may have a harder time adjusting to than Nassib.

“It’ll be weird having another quarterback in the huddle without Ryan,” Pugh said, “because, I mean, it just feels so normal. I come to the quarterback, I see Ryan Nassib. That’s something I’ve just learned to expect.”

Maybe Pugh could fast-track his relationship with Manning, if Manning just has a few hours to drive to Syracuse.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Justin Pugh made his Giants debut at right tackle in rookie camp.

The Giants drafted Pugh saying he can play guard, tackle or even center. But the fact that he was at right tackle during both practices on the first day of rookie camp could be an indication that Pugh may have a shot to be in the mix in the competition at right tackle.

David Diehl and James Brewer are expected to compete to start at the spot. But if Pugh impresses the coaches, the first-round pick could have a shot at starting.

Pugh played left tackle during his three seasons at Syracuse but began practicing at right tackle as soon as Syracuse's season ended.

"I have been working on my right tackle stance ever since then so it feels a lot better now," Pugh said of getting acclimated to the spot. "And just keep getting more and more reps, keep getting live reps against guys and as it gets better, it will get easier.

"I played some right [tackle] when I was in practice but never in a game," he added. "When I got to the Senior Bowl, played a little right guard, right tackle, so I got more and more comfortable. I played right guard in high school. But I am comfortable with the right side."

Curry signs: In case you missed it, the Giants signed free agent linebacker Aaron Curry.

Jerry Reese hopes the former fourth overall pick in the 2009 draft will be able to "re-invent" himself with the Giants.

Staff moves: The Giants officially announced three personnel moves. Tim McDonnell joined the team as a pro scout after serving as director of player personnel at Notre Dame. McDonnell is the grandson of the late Wellington Mara.

The team also hired Joe Danos as a strength and conditioning assistant from Florida State and Matt Shauger has been named the team's assistant director of pro personnel.

First impressions: Nassib impressed Tom Coughlin and Kevin Gilbride with the way he handled the offense, huddles and cadence in his first practice. In a 7-on-7 drill, Nassib completed a nice pass over middle to tight end Morgan Newton, who made a nice stretching catch. But later, Nassib overthrew tight end Nick Provo and was picked by safety John Stevenson... Rookie safety Cooper Taylor looks as advertised as a 6-foot-4 safety. The Giants love his blend of size and speed as a potential third safety. It will be interesting to see how he continues to progress... Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and guard Eric Herman both are listed at 320 pounds and are big boys. But they weren't close to being among the biggest at rookie camp. Guard Michael Jasper from Bethel stood out at 6-4 and 375 pounds. Also, guard Lavon McCoy looked massive at 6-5 and 380 pounds. And speaking of size, undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver Marcus Davis from Virginia Tech is 6-4 and 232 pounds... Linebacker Mister Alexander from Florida State had to leave the second practice on a cart with an injury.
