The New York Giants traded back in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night and still got their man, Georgia outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari.
“He’s an edge pass rusher. He’s instinctive. He’s very bright,” said Giants general manager Dave Gettleman. “He plays hard, and he’s got pass rush ability and he’s also a solid run player. We’re really thankful to get him. ”
“The thing that separated I think Azeez from others was he’s pro-ready with his hands,” said Giants director of college scouting Chris Pettit. “He had real good hand use. He’s instinctive. The guy has the ability to make big plays in big spots. He’s ultra competitive. He has good instincts. He had good hand use for being an underclassman that we liked.”
Here’s some pre-draft scouting reports on Ojulari from around the draft-o-sphere.
