He agreed that Berhe didn't have ideal size, and that his speed wasn't impressive. He also believed that Berhe would be "out-muscled at times" by larger wide receivers, and "will get flagged for downfield contact and needs to improve his discipline". New York Giants The New York Giants drafted Berhe in the fifth round with the 152nd overall pick, making him the first Eritrean-American player to be drafted into the NFL. After Berhe's first preseason game versus the Buffalo Bills, in which he recorded three tackles and a forced fumble, Giants Safeties Coach David Merritt gave Berhe the nickname "The Missile".
