NFL Loves NCAA Basketball Players

It seems that the NFL cannot get enough of big NCAA basketball players due to the success of Antonio Gates of the San Diego Chargers.  Gates formerly played basketball for Kent State and then became a STUD in the NFL after being pursued because of raw physical talent.  Yesterday Ed Nelson of UCONN signed with the Rams and today comes the news Jai Lewis of George Mason has signed with the New York Giants.  Lewis has not played since high school, but the Giants feel he could become a defensive end or tight end.  I will say he is really quick on his feet for his size, but who will be picked up next Joakim Noah as a wide receiver?
