The New York Giants signed their third-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Monday, inking defensive lineman Darius Alexander to a four-year deal worth a reported $6.7 million. Alexander was the 65th overall selection in Round 3 out of Toledo and was high on the team's radar. He was mocked as early as the second round by several top draft analysts.

The New York Giants were long pegged as a team that would be in the first-round mix to select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the connection between Big Blue and former Colorado star Shedeur Sanders was an ongoing storyline throughout draft season.
