What ex-giants No. 1 pick just got 6 years in prison?

While Jerry Reese, Ben McAdoo and the Giants brass are in Indianapolis scouting the team's potential first-round draft choice at the NFL Scouting Combine, a former first-rounder was just handed a hefty prison sentence.

Will Allen, the Giants' first-round pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, was sentenced to six years in prison as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme that targeted former professional athletes among others.

TMZ Sports has details of Allen's arrest and charges:

Prosecutors were gunning for a 78 month sentence ... and they just about got what they asked for.
