University of Alabama receiver DJ Hall said this afternoon he has agreed to join teammate Wallace Gilberry as a free-agent signee with the New York Giants. Hall was also considering an offer from the Detroit Lions.
"They just seemed the most interested, willing to take a chance," Hall said. "I'm not the person that's going to turn a lot of things down. I just want the opportunity, and they're giving it to me."
Hall, who had a record-breaking career at Alabama, was among the Crimson Tide contingent shut out of this weekend's draft. Former teammates expressed the most surprise about Hall, whose collegiate accomplishments suggested a higher draft status.
He will report to mini-camp with the Giants in the coming week.
"I'm just ready to go," Hall said. "I'll show a lot of people. The whole thing was crazy. What can I do about it now but prove them wrong."
