General Manager Joe Schoen & Head Coach John Harbaugh following 2nd Round selection of CB Colton Hood

Q. You guys done for the night?

JOE SCHOEN: (Laughing). That's a very good question. Maybe not. We'll see how things go down.

Q. There was a trade right before you, right before you picked. Obviously a player in a position you needed. Talk us through that.

JOE SCHOEN: We had targeted Colton Hood as a guy, corner is a premium position, and a player we really like. So the fact that he was there, there's some good players taken in front of us certainly, but really excited to get Colton where we were able to get him, and again add some really good depth and competition to the roster we currently have.

Q. Does he fall into the category of your two previous picks of guys who love to play football?

JOE SCHOEN: Absolutely. High-character kid. He's been at Auburn and Colorado, then Tennessee, and we spent some time with him at the combine, but a kid that's tough, that shows up on tape, he's not afraid to throw his body around and tackle, he's physical, and truly loves ball.

Q. How do you envision him fitting into the cornerback room?

JOHN HARBAUGH: Competing to start. That's what he's going to do. We got a got a cornerback room now. It's amazing how one addition changes the math in a room. Cornerback room is good, but now it's really good. He's going to push everybody, and he'll be -- I know one thing, he's planning on coming in here and trying to win a starting job.

Q. Is there something that you guys liked about his personality? It seemed like when McCoy went down, a lot of talk down there was that he really stepped up his game even more so on the back end and kind of reaped the benefit.

JOE SCHOEN: He's a phenomenal kid. We spent some time with him. He checks all the boxes. He has makeup in terms of our football and personal character, hard worker, former baseball player that has tremendous ball skills along with traits. So checks a lot of boxes along with the football makeup that we desire within the group. Add him to the other two players that you guys got to talk to today that were here and he fits right in with those guys.

Q. I know you guys answered this last night, but since then there was a report that you guys had conversations with the Saints recently about trading for Kayvon Thibodeaux. Has anything changed in that regard, and how likely is it that Kayvon stays with you tonight?

JOE SCHOEN: No, nothing's changed. I wish I could just put anything out in the Twittersphere and just let people run with it, but no, there's no truth to that. We have not had any conversations today about Kayvon. That's not true.

Q. What would a scenario then be, how would you get back into the third round?

JOE SCHOEN: We're pretty high in the fourth round. We're five picks from -- we have the fifth pick tomorrow, so we're not far off.

Q. So a package of your current picks?

JOE SCHOEN: Yeah, I wasn't thinking anywhere near along the line that you were thinking, but yeah, just maybe picks that we currently have to get back into the bottom of three potentially.

Q. This is more a question about yesterday's unfoldings, but it's kind of unique to have two guys like Reese and Bailey go so close, obviously. And there are going to be natural comparisons in the New York area. As football guys and even as fans, how interesting and intriguing do you think that will be as their careers unfold here, even though they're different types of players. I'm sure you did a lot of work on Bailey as well, I'm assuming?

JOE SCHOEN: That's a good question. Again, because of our current roster and the construction of it, with the edge guys we currently have, we put Reese under the microscope as an inside backer. So all along that's how we were looking at him, pairing him with Tremaine (Edmunds), along with the edge guys that we have, and then some of the third down stuff he could do. So in that scenario we're comparing him to (Brian) Burns and Abdul (Carter) and Kayvon (Thibodeaux), because that's our current roster construction. To add his size, speed, and character to what we currently have, and the versatility that he has. So we're kind of looking at him in two different roles, the way the Jets are going to use Bailey and how we'll use Reese.

Q. Do you think it will be, even though, again, you're going to use him in different ways, but two guys, linebackers picked in this town, that close, hopefully for both cases they're going to be here for a long time. How intriguing could that be to see how it unfolds?

JOE SCHOEN: Hopefully they're saying the Giants got it right. Ideally that's how it plays out.

Q. You mentioned before the cornerback room is good and now one player make it's really good. There was kind of a perception the cornerback room was not good beforehand, or not good enough. When you came in, you looked at this room, like Cor'Dale Flott left, signed somewhere else and you signed (Greg) Newsome. When you looked at the room, you kind of liked it? I mean, obviously you add another player --

JOHN HARBAUGH: Good, average, not good, whatever. It's an opportunity to get better. There's guys in there with opportunities. I'm looking at Tae (Banks). Tae, he hasn't played that great, he'll tell you that. But is he capable of playing a lot better? I think he is. That's on us and on him to get him to play better. So imagine if he takes this step and what does that do for the room. Is Paulson capable of playing better than he did last year? I would say so. So let's go. Let's go play better. Let's go play at a level we're capable of playing at. You got Paulson Adebo, he's a highly-decorated vet in this league, and after what I saw last week I thought he looked good. I thought Tae looked really good last week. So that's the kind of thing I'm going on. I don't really care what the perception was a year ago or two years ago. I'm looking at what I see you. I see a good room. But I want a great room. I want a dominant room. I want a bunch of pit bulls out there flying around making plays on the football, and Colton Hood gives us another guy in there to do that and compete and push everybody. So you put another guy in there, another pit bull in the room, let's see what he does. He plays the ball, he plays hard. He comes from a great family. Coached his uncle in Philly, he was a corner for us, Rod Hood. So I know the type of family this young man comes from, and the type person he is. I know the kind of athlete he is. This is a corner with traits and ball skills. Traits and ball skills at corner. Plus he's a high-character guy. So he's going to light a fire in that room. You better be ready. You better be ready to compete.

Q. You guys made a decision on Tae Banks's fifth year option?

JOE SCHOEN: We're going to talk about that early next week.

Q. Joe, just curious, obviously we saw teve Tisch in the room today and yesterday and we know he transferred his stakes, what exactly is his role now?

JOE SCHOEN: He's the chairman of the team and he's in the draft room like he is every year.

General Manager Joe Schoen & Head Coach John Harbaugh following 3rd Round selection of WR Malachi Fields

Q. You said you wanted more picks, right?

JOE SCHOEN: Malachi Fields is a player we coveted coming into the draft. As things started to fall and he was still there and some of the receivers went already, an opportunity to go get him.

We thought the value was -- we were fine with the value, and we were able to secure the player we wanted at a position we wanted to upgrade not only the size, length, athleticism, another phenomenal kid that will come in and be a really good addition for us.

Q. You said you were fine with the value, Joe. People always talk about the '27 draft like it's this all world draft class. Was that a consideration at all?

JOE SCHOEN: We'll see -- I know the comp formula, we'll see if we're able to still get one there. There's a chance we can maybe get a comp formula, a pick for Wan'Dale (Robinson). You may get one-for-one there.

As we've seen throughout the draft, we've had opportunities to move back four, five, sixes. If you want to be intentional about it, you can certainly do that earlier in the Draft, move back a couple spots. Just excited to get the player we were able to get.

Q. How much was this the kind of receiver you were looking for and maybe complement? You have (Darnell) Mooney, (Darius) Slayton, kind of vertical stretch receivers. He's obviously a great receiver, not the biggest guy in the world. Fields obviously fits a certain build and mold. How much was that what you were looking for specifically?

JOE SCHOEN: He's certainly a different body type than we currently have. Adding that was something we had talked about doing. We weren't going to force it unless the value was at the right spot. Obviously being 6'4-1/2", 218 pounds, and the catch radius and athleticism that he displays was attractive.

All those things were almost like build a basketball team we talk about. You got your power forward now.

Q. I think you guys didn't go to Senior Bowl, right? You guys were here. He had some standout Senior Bowl. What was the word from the scouts after that?

JOE SCHOEN: Best receiver down there was the reports back. Coach and I were here that week, but we obviously got to go through the film and watch the one-on-ones and the practices and the games. He had a phenomenal week down there for sure.

Q. What does a player like him give Jaxson Dart?

JOE SCHOEN: You can put it in the radius, put it in the area, and he's going to come down with it a lot of times. You saw that at Notre Dame. Again, a down the field target who can come down with the ball in contested situations. Red zone, a big body in the red zone, again with that tremendous catch radius. That's invaluable for a young quarterback.

Q. You mentioned you're interested in getting more stout. You add another big player. How much do you like adding another big player?

JOHN HARBAUGH: It's not a negative. It's definitely not a negative. We spent a lot of time over the course of the whole draft, and the scouts did a great job once again, but today was a day spent looking at opportunities throughout the day. We were all in there together studying these guys. You try to reset it.

Malachi was a guy we had right at the top of our board from the beginning of the day. It wasn't a guy that we weren't targeting. We were targeting him right out of the gates. We were able to get Colton (Hood), and he was in the same clump.

I think Joe did a great job of understanding kind of the draft and where people valued certain players

and thought we could get him a little later. Probably exhausted as far back as we thought we could go and then made an aggressive move to come back up and get to this spot right here, a whole round ahead of where we were picking to give us a chance to get him.

He's a guy we felt -- honestly we felt like he had for us maybe a second round value. We wanted the player, and we got him. I thought it was a great get for us.

Q. How much were you considering maybe going after him at 37?

JOE SCHOEN: Colton was our top of the board coming into the day. So we were excited to get him.

JOHN HARBAUGH: It's not just about how much you value him; it's about where can you get him. Joe and the scouting department do a great job of analyzing all that stuff. Sometimes you're not right, but they kind of had it pegged in terms of where he was going to go in the order. That's probably why we got it done.

Q. Joe mentioned catch radius for the young quarterback. I know what it means, but can you explain as a head coach, in a young quarterback's head, when you can throw the ball in the air and he's like I know he's going to catch it.

JOHN HARBAUGH: It's such a great point because the idea of being basically a player is never covered. You throw the ball to him, he's going to find a way to make the play around the defender. Not just -- he's got reach. He can outreach whoever's covering him. He's got great hands. He's a contested type of receiver. You've seen those guys in the league for a lot of years make a lot of plays.

I'd also say too I heard what some of the commentary said, the 40 time is a concern for people, but when you do the miles per hour, which we get the tracking now, that's fast. He tracks a lot faster. He's the equivalent of a mid-4.4 type 40 time. He's running over 21 miles an hour consistently in games. He's also got the ability to stop, drop his weight, change direction, get out of breaks. You see all that.

You look at one-on-one tapes from college and things like that, I think he's kind of an underrated athlete as well. We'll see when he gets here. We'll all get a chance to look at him and see what he does. Plus he's an A-plus personality, A-plus character, A-plus worker. They love him at Notre Dame. Looking forward to getting him here.

Q. Any hesitation since there's going to be a large gap between this pick and the beginning of the sixth?

JOE SCHOEN: We have three sixth round picks. Big gap in between there. We're probably not going to do anything before then. I can pretty much assure you that.

Q. Did you have to think hard about that? The idea of, okay, we're not going to be able to pick for a while then?

JOE SCHOEN: There's some guys coming off now, it's a little bit of wild, wild west on our board now. There was a player up there we coveted, and we felt really good if we're able to get him, get him in the building.

And we'll continue to chip away with the three picks remaining and then college free agency and any vets that are on the street. If we need to fill the roster that way, we'll do that.

Q. If you picked a defensive tackle, I'd be asking about wide receiver. I'll ask it the other way. How do you feel about defensive tackle? It's hard to fill all the needs with only so many picks. That seems to be the one area you haven't addressed.

JOE SCHOEN: Again, not playing until September. There's other avenues we can do it. Looking at some of the free agents on the street, we'll continue to talk to some of those guys. Again, we've got college free agency and three sixth round picks.

We'll find a way. We won't stop. We'll keep looking to upgrade, not just D-tackle, but the entire roster. Wherever it is, we'll continue to do that.

Linebacker Arvell Reese

Q. What have the last 12 hours been like for you?

ARVELL REESE: It's been nothing but excitement, man. I spent some time with my family after. Nothing but excitement, I'm going to be honest.

Q. What's it like being in the building today and getting to meet everyone again?

ARVELL REESE: It's unreal being in the building. It felt like time flew by. I was just on the 30 visit not too long ago. I feel unreal being here. I'm excited for it.

Q. You mentioned yesterday that you had really good conversations with Dennard Wilson and John Harbaugh. What made those conversations so good?

ARVELL REESE: Like I said, I went to dinner with Coach Dennard Wilson and Coach (Frank) Bush. We had a great conversation, a great long conversation. I just felt like I could relate to those guys so much. They kept it real with me. They gave me some tips and pointers how to move throughout my rookie year.

And with Coach Harbaugh, we had a great conversation as well, a great long conversation as well.

Q. What do you know about New York and the city? How often have you been here? What are your expectations of New York and New Jersey?

ARVELL REESE: I really don't know a lot about New York, to be honest. The first time coming to New York, New York was on the 30 visits out here. I don't know too much about it.

Q. Did you get to see anything while you were here or just came in and out?

ARVELL REESE: I went to Manhattan for a little bit, but that was about it.

Q. Your impression?

ARVELL REESE: It was busy down there, yeah.

Q. You, Caleb Downs and Sonny Styles all end up in the NFC East. How crazy is that, that you guys win a National Championship together a little over a year ago and now you're in the same division?

ARVELL REESE: That means a lot that we get to play in the same division, go against each other, compete with each other. That's all we ever did at Ohio State. It means a lot seeing those guys go there, those guys that I know deserve it. I've seen them grinding day in and day out, from the winter to the spring workouts. It means a lot. It's a blessing.

Q. You've been compared and linked with David Bailey. I'm curious, have you gotten to know him in this process at all? Did you know him before? What's your relationship with him?

ARVELL REESE: Didn't really get to know him too much. He seems like a guy who keeps to himself, kind of like me. I shook his hand a couple times.

Q. Have you seen his game at all, watched games?

ARVELL REESE: I've seen him.

Q. What do you make of his game? Is there any comparison to what you do?

ARVELL REESE: Yeah, I've seen a couple clips of his game. I think he's a great player. I think he plays hard. He plays with like a relentless effort type player. He's got a great motor. I think he's a great player.

Q. Have you seen any similarities in your game at all?

ARVELL REESE: I don't know. I don't think so.

Q. Were you familiar with John Harbaugh's teams in Baltimore? He's been there since you were 2 years old as the head coach. Are you familiar with how the Ravens play football?

ARVELL REESE: Yes, I'm familiar with it.

Q. What would you say their style is?

ARVELL REESE: The image that I remember growing up, I always felt like the Ravens played fast and violent, and that's kind of what I try to model my game after, being fast and violent, always thinking violence for sure.

Q. You were picked by the Giants, but you were the first pick in the John Harbaugh coaching era with the Giants -- what do you think that says about you and maybe that fast and violence that you can bring?

ARVELL REESE: I think that says a lot about me. I won't say it proves my point because I haven't done anything at this level yet, but I think I've got some shoes to fill. I think I'm ready for the challenge. Yeah, I think I'm going to go, yeah.

Q. What's more fun, fast or violent?

ARVELL REESE: I think both are like very important, but I don't know. Just playing defense, you've got to be violent. You've got to be thinking of doing something violent.

Q. Arvell, who do you model your game after? Who do you look up to as a linebacker?

ARVELL REESE: As a linebacker, I wouldn't say I model my game after nobody, but there's a bunch of players I can remember growing up. Right now I think my favorite linebacker would be like Fred Warner, Tremaine Edmunds is one of those guys. Guys like that.

Q. You'll obviously be playing with Tremaine now. What do you think about his game now that you'll be lined up next to him?

ARVELL REESE: One thing I like about his game, he's a rangy linebacker. He can clear ground fast, sideline to sideline. He plays the game fast. He plays it how it's supposed to be played.

Q. You got compared to Micah Parsons in the pre-draft process. What do you think of those comparisons?

ARVELL REESE: I think they're just comparisons. Ain't really too much I can do. I can't control it. I try to focus on the stuff I can control. Yeah, I guess it's all right that they compare me to him. He's a great player.

Q. What do you know about this defense? What do you expect? You said you went to dinner with Coach Bush and Dennard. Has Matt Patricia told you anything about what to expect about here and the NFL in general?

ARVELL REESE: As of right now, all I know is what I was told by Coach Dennard, Coach Bush, Coach Harbaugh. That's really all I know right now. I'm just excited to get into the book, though. Looking forward to it.

Q. When you were in the building for the 30 visit, I'm sure it's a lot of just processing, essentially a job audition for you. When you walk in these doors today, how does it feel different?

ARVELL REESE: I mean, it's completely different. It feels like I got hired. It's completely different. Yeah, it's completely different. The 30 visit, I'm trying to be myself and just hope that they can see something in me. Now that I'm here, it's like I'm hired.

To me, you know, I feel like the job is not completed. I've got so much to do, so much to look forward to doing. So I'm just ready to get to work.

Offensive Lineman Francis Mauigoa

Q. What have the last 12 hours or so been like for you?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: A lot of feelings, a lot of emotions. When I got my name called, it was kind of a blessing, but also just kind of thankful for that moment because all the hard work my parents have put in for me to be at this situation. It's something that I've always wanted to give back to them. To be able to experience that moment with them means a lot to me.

Q. When did you realize this was possible, like this dream where -- I feel like, when you go to IMG, it's probably what you're usually thinking. Was there a point before then when you said, you know what, I really want to make a run at this?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: It was my freshman year of high school. Me and my older brother Francisco, we both went to San Bernardino, St. Thomas Aquinas in California. We were just balling. We were just kids that were hungry for it.

Then we got to a point where we understand that we're actually good at something and we can continue forward with it. We started pushing for greatness, and that's been our goal ever since.

Q. What do you think will be the biggest challenge of adjusting to guard?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: I don't know. Probably different techniques than the tackle, but I've been training, cross-training my whole training process not only for the combine but after the combine. So I feel confident in my skills, and I'm ready to learn a lot more.

Q. What made you do that, the cross-training?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: Just making myself valuable, if you learn all five positions. I mean, I'm hungry for a spot. So it's not fair for me to just practice one spot if I'm hungry for anything, just to be an offensive linemen.

Q. What kind of questions have you asked your brother, having come into the league last year?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: I haven't really asked him a lot of questions, but he has been a great mentor in my life. He told me just be myself. He actually told me that I'll enjoy the league more than college just because school is out of the story.

Yeah, it's just straight ball from now on.

Q. Were you familiar with John Harbaugh's teams when he coached the Ravens for two decades?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: Yeah, I was. I kind of have a snippet of it. Hearing the story of him and his brother going at it in the Super Bowl, that's pretty funny.

Q. What about their style? Did you ever watch the Ravens and see a style that you can pick up on?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: Yeah, I mean, the legendary Ray Lewis. That type of style of play kind of comes up with John Harbaugh and how he teaches things. I see him as an old school type of coach, and that's how I like things to be, just hard, gritty, run through somebody, no cut corners.

Q. We saw you met up with Jaxson just a little bit ago. What was that interaction like?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: It was awesome. I'm really excited to get it going with him, to block my ass off for him and get him to make plays. He's so down to earth, humble kid who loves fishing. Can't wait to get out on the water with him someday.

Q. Did he like your comment where you said you'd basically die for him?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: Yeah, he was pumped about it. He was juiced about it. He just told me about it.

Q. I'm sure you've heard from a bunch of different people and still checking your phone, hearing it. I saw something come across social media last night that The Rock actually reached out to you to congratulate you?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: I haven't checked social media yet. It's kind of hectic. So kind of staying away from it to focus on the main thing. Right now I'm here at the New York Giants, and I'm focusing on what can I do to make an improvement.

Q. Would you be surprised if someone of that stature reaches out to you?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: Oh, yeah, of course. The Rock has been someone that I look forward to meeting my whole life. He's one of those idols that we see on TV with movies, WWE. Whatever he does, he represents the Samoan culture. That's something that I like to do and take pride in it.

For him to do that at the big stage that he is with The Fast and the Furious, it means a lot. That's somebody that I look up to. So for him to notice me, that means a lot.

Q. This obviously is early since you just got here, but have you and your brother talked about living together in the area or anything like that?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: We haven't talked about it yet. There comes a time I'll more than likely move in with him. If anything, I wanted to stay closer over here, so 10, 15 minutes away, that's my spot. But it's up to him.

Q. Have you been able to talk about any of the other starting offensive linemen, like Jermaine Eluemunor and other linemen?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: Yeah, Jermaine reached out after the draft, after the pick. I'm really excited to be working with him. He's a right tackle. They want me to play right guard. We're out here to move people, and that's what we're going to do.

Q. You mentioned Jaxson being from Utah. Is that going to make this bond a lot easier, as far as both of you guys coming from similar backgrounds state-wise?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: I'm actually not from Utah. I'm from American Samoa. But Jaxson being near the Polynesian culture and like endured in that part of the world, it means a lot. He actually told me that he wants more Polys over here. That's what he was trying to push for. I was like, hey, man, let's start a pipeline, yeah.

Q. I don't know how much you and Arvell squared off in that playoff game, but what's your scouting report of him?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: He's one helluva rusher. He's one helluva player overall. He's one of the cats that can do it all.

When I was watching his film, he was one of the best rushers that came off on the film, and he's also one of the best defenders that can cover people up, make plays downhill, and stuff like that. So (he) was kind of the key player that we had to look for during the game.

Q. I'm wondering what kind of -- have you spoken to anybody about playing guard, taking advice from people on making that switch? Do you have any thoughts on that in general?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: No. I've been working with Jon Feliciano out of Knoxville, Triple F.

Q. What's been his advice?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: It's pretty simple. Tackle, you've got a lot of space you've got to cover. Guard, you've got minimum space. If anything, he said guard would be easier. So just ready to work at it.

Q. Did other teams see you as a guard, or did other teams see you as a tackle in the pre-draft process?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: Yeah, there were some other teams that see me as a guard. Like I said, man, there's five positions on the offensive line, and I'm ready to take one.

Q. What's it like sharing this experience with Arvell, both of you guys coming in today?

FRANCIS MAUIGOA: He's an amazing kid. I know he don't smile much, but he's really cool behind the scenes. I got to talk to him.

I know he explained something about holding a grudge against us, Miami versus Ohio State, but what's in the past is in the past. Now we're New York Giants, ready to move on from it.

Cornerback Colton Hood

Q. How are you feeling right now? What's going through your head?

COLTON HOOD: I feel great. Just being able to realize my dreams, you know what I'm saying? It's something I grew up dreaming about playing in the NFL and getting to do it for such a storied franchise such as the Giants, it's just a great feeling.

Q. Where are you right now?

COLTON HOOD: I'm in Atlanta right now.

Q. Obviously you were in Pittsburgh last night. What led to your decision to go home rather than stay there?

COLTON HOOD: I just felt more comfortable at home, just being around more family members and friends.

Q. Take us through the experience for you. What was yesterday like, and how gratifying was today as a result?

COLTON HOOD: Yeah, of course it was disappointing. I know God does everything for a reason. He was probably preventing me from something or he had something better in store for me, and that being the Giants.

I'm super excited to go into this next chapter of my life and will just go in there and give my best and give my all and be the best version of myself.

Q. What was the contact like with the Giants leading up to the draft? Did you come in for a visit or anything like that?

COLTON HOOD: No, I didn't really have much time with them besides the formal I had with them at the Combine.

Q. How surprising was this for you then, that you ended up with the Giants and in New York?

COLTON HOOD: It was surprising for sure.

Q. What's your impression of the Giants, just brief kind of getting to know them at the Combine and the formal?

COLTON HOOD: (Head) Coach (John) Harbaugh coached my uncle when he was in Philly. My uncle always told me how good of a person he was but also how hard of a coach he was and how good of a coach he was. Definitely somebody I want to be coached by and somebody I want to play for.

Q. Has your uncle told you anything else in the brief time that you've had between getting picked?

COLTON HOOD: No, not really. Just saying let's go to work, to be honest. That's it.

Q. What do you know about the Giants defense and the room you'll be joining, the cornerback room?

COLTON HOOD: What do I know? I know (Titans cornerback) Cor'Dale Flott left. I'm not really too familiar with the new guys or anything. But I'm just ready to come in and gel with my teammates and go in there and compete.

Q. What are the Giants getting with Colton Hood, the player?

COLTON HOOD: I think they're getting the most competitive person in this Draft, the best cornerback in the Draft, and someone who's going to come out and give his all each Sunday.

Q. How important is it for you to play physically, including in the run game, even though you're outside at corner?

COLTON HOOD: It's extremely important. Like I said, I consider myself a competitor. I can't talk about myself like that in that manner if I'm not going to want to come up and hit somebody. It's extremely important and something that I value in my game.

Q. You mentioned thinking, believing you're the best cornerback in the Draft. Is yesterday something you use for motivation? Is it something that you'll think about with the teams that passed on you?

COLTON HOOD: For sure, but I'm saying it's more just wanting to prove the Giants right and just thanking them for taking a chance on me and definitely giving my all back to them and this organization.

Q. John Harbaugh was talking about how you're going to come in here and compete to start. Have they talked to you yet about the opportunity you have ahead of you?

COLTON HOOD: No, I think I will tomorrow but I haven't spoken to them yet.
