About this episode

DeMarvin Leal, a 25-year-old defensive tackle, was released by the New York Giants, just weeks after being signed by new head coach John Harbaugh. The Giants drafted Bobby Jamison-Travis, a nose tackle from Auburn, in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL draft. Leal, who stands at 64 and weighs 290 pounds, was acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022. Despite showing potential, he struggled to secure a significant role in his 32 games with the Steelers, recording 35 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 1 sack. The Giants are now focusing on their revamped defensive front during minicamps, aiming to build around their draft picks.

Morton, born in January 2002, shares the same high school senior class with May and brings a solid college resume from Texas Tech, where? He started for three and a half seasons with the 26 wins to 10 losses record, including an 11-in-1 mark in 2025, despite battling injuries. Patriots exec Elia Wolfe highlighted Morton's toughness right away, praising his live arm, football smarts, productivity, and how he fits there. Offensive scheme perfectly.
