The New York Giants are focusing on maximizing value during the 2025 NFL Draft, highlighted by their third-round pick, Darius Alexander, a defensive tackle from Toledo. Joining first-round pick Abdul Carter, Alexander adds depth to a formidable defensive line alongside Dexter Lawrence. He brings significant potential, combining size and speed with a sub-5.00 second 40-yard dash. Alexander expressed enthusiasm about working under the experienced defensive line coach Andre Patterson, emphasizing his desire to improve all aspects of his game.

Acknowledging the challenges he faces, including his age and competition level at Toledo, Alexander is determined to prove his worth. With Patterson's guidance, the Giants expect him to develop into a starter-level talent, further solidifying their defensive strength.
