The Giants clearly scouted the Big Ten Conference long and hard in 2017.
Of the nine remaining undrafted free agent rookies on the roster, five played in the Big Ten, including two at Penn State, one at Rutgers, one at Northwestern and one at Nebraska. And that is with head coach Pat Shurmur's son playing in the SEC.
The Giants have a little quicker than normal to cut ties with undrafted rookies, bringing in more longshot veteran free agents. Those players — the likes of cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris, offensive lineman Chris Scott, tight end Scott Simonson and more — are not included here.
