Giants look for attitude in linemen, not necessarily finesse or beef

Justin Pugh said this week he would like to see the Giants draft "the kid from Iowa."

By that he meant fellow offensive lineman Brandon Scherff.

"He seems like a tough kid," Pugh said. "I've watched a few games on him and that is someone I would like to play to with."

Pugh doesn't have a scout's eye. He's only two years removed from being scouted himself before he was selected with the Giants' first-round pick in 2013. And he admits that he has not done much studying on other players.

But what he saw in a few glances of Scherff told him all he needed to know.
