New York Giants General Manager Jerry Reese described Jayron as not being a, "big man," but having, "athletic arrogance." He likened his skill set to Adam "Pac-Man" Jones'.

Keeping with the tradition of DB-U, for the 14th draft in a row the Hokies have had a defensive back selected in the NFL Draft. What an absolutely awesome streak that started way back in '99 with Pierson Prioleau, and don't forget Antonio Banks and Torrian Gray in '97.

This is what Brandon Flowers, a member of this prestigious fraternity, had to say.

The Giants and Reese were able to look past Hosley's widely publicized failed drug tests, and dip in production due to a hamstring injury and see the promise of a player that intercepted 9 passes in 2010.

The Giants are extremely thin at corner, and at the very least he should be able to earn playing time in nickel and dime situations and on special teams returning punts and/or kicks.

Congratulations Jayron!
