Giants roster preview: Speedy CB Matt Smalley a darkhorse

Speed and big-play capability always get noticed by NFL teams, regardless of where a player comes from. Such is the case with Lafayette cornerback Matt Smalley, whom the New York Giants signed as n undrafted free agent during the spring.

Smalley, 5-foot-10, 195 pounds, is a cornerback/kick returner with 4.40 speed in the 40-yard dash. There are currently no players from Lafayette, an FCS school, in the NFL. The last was Blake Costanzo, a special teamer with the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears from 2007-2013.
