Fourth-round pick Elerson Smith on Tuesday became the fourth New York Giants rookie to sign his first NFL contract. Smith joins second-round pick Azeez Ojulari and sixth-round picks Gary Brightwell and Rodarius Williams as draft picks who have signed their deals.
For the Giants, that leaves only first-round pick Kadarius Toney and third-round pick Aaron Robinson unsigned.
An edge rusher out of Northern Iowa, the Giants are hoping that the 6-foot-6, 252-pound 22-year-old develops into an impact edge rusher.
After the draft, Giants GM Dave Gettleman said that Smith ‘definitely” has the toolset to develop into a quality NFL pass rusher.
