Giants sign first-round pick Arvell Reese
by from on (#75Z89)
The Giants have their top pick from this year's draft under contract.
Linebacker Arvell Reese has signed his four-year rookie deal with the team. The Giants will also have a team option for a fifth year for the fifth overall pick.
The Giants have now signed all of their picks from April. Reese was one of two first-round picks - offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa was the other - and the Giants selected seven players overall.
Reese played both off-ball linebacker and edge rusher at Ohio State and is expected to be used in a variety of ways by the Giants as well. He had 69 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks for the Buckeyes last season.
