The Facts: The Giants signed six players who attended the rookie mini-camp on a tryout basis. Two are rookies -- C Alex Derenthal (Temple) and DE Tommie Hill (Colorado State) -- and four are veterans: WR Shaun Bodiford (Portland State), RB Allen Patrick (Oklahoma), LB Kelvin Smith (Syracuse) and Wrighster (Oregon), who played 67 games for the Jaguars over the past six seasons.
Diehards Line:A fourth-round draft pick in 2003, Wrighster appeared to be on the cusp of a promising career until he suffered a torn ACL in 2007 and missed the final five games of that season and the first 11 games last season. He returned to action late last year and and made one start, catching two passes for 35 yards. Wrighster, 28, played 67 games for the Jaguars, including 27 starts. He had 94 catches for 850 yards and nine touchdowns.
