Giants sign 13 undrafted rookie free agents

UNDRAFTED-FREE-AGENTS-UPDATED

Roster-building doesn't end with the draft.

In addition to their 11-man draft class, the New York Giants announced the signings of 13 undrafted free agents heading into rookie minicamp. They will have an opportunity just like everyone else to make the final roster in the fall and can start to showcase their skills in the upcoming OTAs and rookie minicamp.

"When we got here, where the roster was, we had to add a lot of pieces, and there's only so many resources," general manager Joe Schoen said at the conclusion of last month's draft. "So we did the best we could this weekend, and we'll continue to do that in free agency. Again, players might have gotten drafted over somebody else, so what that means is maybe next week there's going to be some cuts and may be some veterans that are on the street because they drafted over players on their current roster. We don't play until September. Our location in the claim order, the final cutdown will be important or as players are cut. The roster is never finished. It won't be finished during the season, and we'll always be looking to upgrade."

Here is a look at the undrafted rookies with their college bios:
