(CBSNewYork)- The New York Giants welcomed a new member to the Big Blue family on Thursday night when they selected Andrew Thomas from Georgia with the fourth overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
The 6-5 320 pound tackle was a three-year starter for the Bulldogs. Thomas was a freshman All-American for the Bulldogs starting all 15 games as Georgia made a run to the national championship game. He then earned second team All-American honors as a sophomore and was first team again in his junior season.
