The Giants Drafted David Wilson and I'm Happy.

The New York Giants selected David Wilson with the 32nd overall pick in the NFL Draft. Wilson is the first Hokie to go in the first round since the Texans picked offensive tackle Duane Brown in 2008.

Q: What was your reaction when the Giants selected you?

A: I was sitting on the bed and the Giants had the last pick in the first round... And then Tampa Bay traded (up), and I thought, 'Maybe they'll get a running back. I know they need a running back.' At that point, I was hoping for anything. The Giants are Super Bowl champions, and I'm like 'They probably won't pick me...' I was just hoping that something would happen, and I get the New Jersey call and I start screaming. I answered the phone and it was the New York Giants. It was the best call that I got in a long time.

If y'all don't know I'm a Giants fan. I watch every snap of Virginia Tech football on Saturday, and as painful as it can be at times, every snap of Giants football on Sunday. I'm excited Jerry Reese drafted him, finally I get to root for a Hokie on my team. From my observations, here are a cheat sheet for success in New York for 4 (or maybe now 34), David Wilson.

** BE ON TIME, ERR 5 MINUTES EARLY, FOR EVERY MEETING. It's called Coughlin Time, and coach doesn't tolerate tardiness. If I remember correctly, which I probably don't considering I watch nearly every game with a six-pack, he sat Strahan for being on time (yes on time) for a team meeting. BE EARLY.

** DO NOT FUMBLE. Be better than UVA. This is a life less in general. Coughlin had to Fix Tiki; get him carrying the rock upright, high and tight. Represent our proud tradition of Hokie tailbacks in the NFL.

** DON'T RUN BACKWARDS. Kevin Gilbride accounts for every inch of turf on the field. Gains and losses are meticulously accounted for on his balance sheet of a play card. Long story short, if you move backwards on 2nd and 8, I'll have to throw pillows at the TV because we're not converting 3rd and 12. It's a 60" Sony. It cost $2,500. I can't afford another. Please don't make me break it.

** ELI HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK HE'S DOING. Unless it's the last 2 minutes of the half, then he's the best quarterback in the NFL. Otherwise, just go with it.

** KEEP YOUR CLEATS ON. Well whatever, run with one off and gain 40 yards anyways.

** YOU'RE RETURNING KICKS. YAIS! (You got that under control... moving on.)

** IF YOU CLIMB GIANTS STADIUM, DON'T FALL OFF. "They've" been dumping bodies in the Meadowlands for years, no one will find you.

** EAT CHICK-FIL-A ON SUNDAY. Don't forget who you are.
