Mykkele Thompson hoped he'd be in some team's rookie camp this week. He just didn't expect to be heading into it with the status of a draft pick.
Speaking of his pre-draft expectations, the defensive back out of Texas said: "Me thinking that I didn't put that good of numbers up this past season, I thought free agency was going to be the main goal probably.''
So he was as shocked as anyone when the Giants selected him in the fifth round Saturday. On Friday he'll be one of 60 to 65 players on the field for the start of the team's rookie minicamp.
