JUNE 24, 2008

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - The Giants today announced the signing of three more of their choices in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Linebackers Bryan Kehl (fourth round) and Jonathan Goff (fifth) and quarterback Andre' Woodson (sixth) joined the team's other sixth-round selection, defensive end Robert Henderson, as draft choices who have signed with the team.

The Giants' top three choices - safety Kenny Phillips of Miami, cornerback Terrell Thomas of USC and wide receiver Mario Manningham of Michigan - remain unsigned. All players are scheduled to report to training camp a month from today.

Kehl, a 6-2, 242-pound outside linebacker from BYU, was the 123rd overall selection. He played in 48 games with 26 starts and finished his career with 205 tackles (108 solo), seven sacks for minus-45 yards, 20.5 stops for losses totaling 83 yards and a pair of quarterback pressures. In 2007, Kehl was named to the All-Mountain West Conference first team and also earned Academic All-MWC honors.

Goff, a 6-2, 245-pound middle linebacker from Vanderbilt, was the 165th overall selection. He played in 46 games with 36 starts and became the 10th player in school history to lead the team in tackles in consecutive seasons (2006-07). His career totals include 307 tackles (202 solo), 15.5 tackles for losses of 67 yards, 6.5 sacks, three interceptions and three fumble recoveries. He was named to the All-SEC second team in 2007.

Woodson, a 6-4, 230-pounder from Kentucky, was the 198th overall selection. He played in 44 games with 38 starts and completed 791 of 1,278 passes (61.9 percent) for 9,360 yards, 79 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. Woodson's 9,360 passing yards rank second in Kentucky history, topped only by Jared Lorenzen's 10,354 yards from 2000-03. Lorenzen was waived by the Giants yesterday. Woodson's yardage total was the ninth-highest in Southeastern Conference history. He was also an All-SEC second-team choice in 2007.
