Nassib, Pugh sign contracts with Giants
For a moment on Thursday, Ryan Nassib was the only player selected in the 2013 NFL Draft who had yet to sign a contract. Only for a moment, though, before the New York Giants announced that the former Syracuse quarterback had signed.
The signing came just hours after former SU tackle Justin Pugh, the Giants’ first-round pick, signed his contract. Both are due to report to training camp Friday.
Nassib, who was projected by many as a potential first rounder but slipped into the fourth round, took to his personal Twitter account to express his excitement about getting his deal done.
O man, it’s official! Now the fun begins. #NYG

Pugh agreed to terms early in the day, his agency Octagon Sports announced on its Twitter account, before Pugh tweeted a photo of himself signing the contract in the evening.

The Giants later confirmed both signings.
