Reese's Surprise Giants Landing

0:00On April 24, Ohio State linebacker Arville Reese had a shocking slide in the first round of the draft on Thursday night. Pundits pegged him as a top free pick, maybe to the Jets or Cardinals, but he dropped all the way to the Giants at 5th overall. This first team all-American with superstar buzz landed in New York despite the surprise tumble. Experts figured Reese did his homework on potential landing spots in the top five, but that did not seem to happen with the Giants. He ended up with big blue anyway, giving them a high upside defender when few saw it coming. In his post-straft press conference, the 20-year-old got hit with a simple question about which new teammate he was most excited to meet. He paused for 10 seconds before naming Jackson Dart, a quarterback not even on the Giants roster or playing defense. The Giants packed solid talent on that side of the ball, like three-time pro-buller, Brian Burns, who made it in 2025 or last year's. Shrouder Abdul Carter, who lit up the Big Ten.

1:00Even Dexter Lawrence, with his famous sacked dance, was a name tied to the team until his recent trade. Reese now has plenty of time to learn the playbook and the locker room, as he kicks off his pro career in the Big Apple, turning that draft night. Aquareness into motivation.
