I don't contribute very often to these boards, but I do like to come and read all your posts to get the inside track on what's going on with the Giants now. My interest is more Giants past than present, and I do contribute to the Giants.com history section when I have time.
1) What part of the Country do you live in? I live in Connecticut, just north of Danbury near the New York border
2) How long have you been a Giants fan? I have never not been a Giants fan, although I don't pay much attention between games
3) What do you do for a living? I was ordained as a minister in 1970 and for the past 20 years I've been the senior pastor of the First Congregational Church here.
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? my main link to the Giants was through my father who played for the team from 1929 to 1934. He would have been 110 years old this past Sunday. We lived in New York City and he took me to a fair share of games when I was young - we'd ride the subway - and I don't think he went to many games after they left Yankee Stadium. He and my mother came to live with us when we moved to Connecticut, and when he celebrated his 91st birthday the Giants sent a video team up to interview him, since he still held the record for the longest run from scrimmage for the team, which was 91 yards. It's a priceless video for me, because they asked him a lot of questions I had never asked - and generally he did not talk about himself. Apart from the Giants I'm a very casual football fan, but I do feel a strong tie to Big Blue and always enjoy seeing them succeed.

While conventional wisdom suggests that the Giants picked high value selections up and down the board, Cold Hard Football Facts included one of Reese's picks in their first round mock, and it wasn't Austin:

Curioisly, they didn't mention the Sash pick in their draft reviews.
QuoteRecently, when I was at EFT Performance in Highland Park, a player I didn't recognized jumped out at me.
He was a smooth athlete, and I even thought he might have been a big receiver. But the player was Jacquian Williams, an outside linebacker from South Florida. You could tell he was explosive, which was confirmed at the South Florida Pro Day, when he ran a 4.53 and 4.72 in the 40-yard dash. But he also had a 36 1/2 inch vertical leap.
QuoteHe came to South Florida as a junior college transfer, and he was named a team captain for his final season. Former USF head coach Jim Leavitt called him the "fastest linebacker" to ever play at the school.
He finished second-team All-BIG EAST, and he led the team with 71 tackles, including 11 for loss, 2 1/2 sacks and one interception.
USF coach Skip Holtz called him "his hero," according to the St. Petersburg Times.
"He's an incredibly unselfish young man. I don't know that I've ever been around anybody as committed as he is, with the heart he has," Holtz told the paper. "I hope my son grows up to be like Jacquian Williams. I feel that strongly about him as a young man."
