GIANTS NOTES:<br />

are the second team in history to have two<br />
quarterbacks who were selected 1st overall<br />

the same time. The 2007 Panthers were the<br />
1st team with that distinction with Vinny<br />
Testaverde (1987) and Carr (2002).<br />

39 completions in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium against<br />
