EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants completed their rookie minicamp Monday with former George Mason basketball star Jai Lewis lined up at left tackle.
For the moment, that's where he stays. But stay tuned.
There's been talk of Lewis as a long snapper. And there's always the possibility that he goes back to tight end, a position he played in high school. That, by the way, is the last time Lewis played football, which makes his move to the NFL -- how shall we say this -- intriguing.
It's a bold experiment by the Giants, who were sufficiently impressed by Lewis' pre-draft workout to sign him as a free agent. Now they're discovering what they have, and what they discovered this weekend wasn't much.
"It's hard to tell in a couple of days about anyone on the offensive line," said coach Tom Coughlin. "He's gotten a little bit better each time, but he has a long way to go."
No problem. Lewis has been down this road before. After all, his George Mason basketball team wasn't given much chance of making a dent in this year's NCAA Tournament ... yet it wound up in the Final Four.

Hopefully, he'll be a better snapper than Trey Junkin (ducks thrown objects from Giants fans)
Good article--thanks for the post and ping. I'm more concerned about our first two draft picks than THIS one...
Interesting. I'd heard no talk of him possibly playing tackle.
Man, that's just mean.
Madison, Webster, and McQuarters may not be great cover corners but no one is going to hsve much time to get the pass off. I could probably cover T.O with the heat that the G-men will be bringing.
Heh. 2006 will be an interesting season, I'm sure of that. Maybe the G-Men's defense will merit a nickname (like Denver's Orange Crush, Dallas' Doomsday Defense, Minnesota's Purple People Eaters, or even the Giants' New York Sack Exchange from previous years).
Moss will be a pain to cover and should open things up. My only complaint/concern is if Tiki gets hurt. IMHO, we should have grabbed a RB instead of a DE in Round 1.
