The New York Giants selected Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese and Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.
Both Reese and Mauigoa were widely regarded as top prospects in the class, and the Giants secured the duo in the top 10. Reese was selected fifth overall, while New York drafted Mauigoa shortly afterward at No. 10.
Fanatics, via FOX Sports, recently released its list of the 10 best-selling rookie jerseys following the conclusion of the 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh. Dallas Cowboys rookie Caleb Downs currently holds the top-selling jersey among the entire 2026 class. Despite being drafted in the top 10, Reese and Mauigoa did not crack the list.
Both players are expected to see a significant increase in jersey sales throughout their 2026 rookie seasons. Reese could quickly develop into a superstar on the Giants’ defense, while Mauigoa is projected to play a critical role in protecting quarterback Jaxon Dart.
The Giants’ 2026 draft class as a whole will look to make an impression during rookie minicamp May 8-10, when fans will get their first glimpse of Reese and Mauigoa in action this weekend.
