The Giants drafted Sam Houston State quarterback Rhett Bomar with the 151st overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Bomar became the Oklahoma Sooner’s starting quarterback in second game of their season, he was named the MVP of the Holiday Bowl that year. In 2006 he was dismissed from the team over NCAA violations. In 2007 he began practicing with the Sam Houston State Bearkats and played nine games with them before injuring his knee.

Bomar started all 10 games in 2008 for Sam Houston State as the Bearkats went 4-6 on the season. Bomar completed his college career as Sam Houston’s all-time leader in passing with 5,564 yards in 19 games and career leader in total offense with 6,159 yards. He is a two-time All-Southland Conference selection and ended the 2008 season ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision total offense (354.2 yards per game) and No. 4 in passing offense (335.5 yards per contest).

Bomar passed for more than 300 yards in nine games during his Bearkat career. He threw for passes of more than 50 yards 10 times including a long of 80 yards. He is one of only 11 players in NCAA FCS history to throw for more than 300 yards and rush for more than 100 yards in a single game (against North Dakota State in 2007).

Bomar’s arrival could mean Andre Woodson‘s days as a Giant are numbered.
