The New York Giants have agreed to terms with fifth-round draft pick Mitch Petrus of Arkansas.

The Giants announced the deal with the guard on Wednesday.

The team now has four of its seven draft picks under contract. Safety Chad Jones, the third-round pick, signed last week. Linebackers Phillip Dillard of Nebraska and Adrian Tracy of William & Mark, the fourth and sixth round picks, respectively, agreed Tuesday.

A walk-on in college, Petrus played fullback, both guard positions, tight end and was on the kick coverage unit in his four seasons with the Razorbacks. He was academically ineligible for the 2008 season. He was the only offensive player taken by New York in the draft.
