The New York Giants have signed first round running back David Wilson, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reports.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but as the 32nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Wilson's four-year contract is expected to be worth around $6.7 million and include a signing bonus of around $3.3 million.
The 5-foot-10, 206-pound Wilson ran for 2,662 yards and 18 touchdowns during his 40-game career. Wilson ranked eight in the nation last season with a 122.1 rushing yards per game average and has added value as a receiver (37 receptions for 363 yards, five touchdowns) and kick returner (21.7-yard career average, two touchdowns).
Running back was a position of need for the Giants, as starting running back Ahmad Bradshaw has struggled with foot injuries and the club released veteran backup Brandon Jacobs after he refused a pay cut.

Bradshaw is quite lucky to be in New York. The foot doctors in NYC are one of the best in their respective field. He won't travel far just for rehabilitation on his foot injury.
