A new report adds to the recent speculation that the New York Giants really do plan on using first-round pick Arvell Reese as an inside linebacker and not on the edge.
To the surprise of many, Ohio State EDGE was not selected by the New York Jets with the No. 2 pick in last monthâs NFL Draft. Even more stunning, he wasnât taken in the next two picks either. Allowing, arguably, the most talented pass rushers in this yearâs class to fall to the Giants at fifth overall.
When Big Blue used its pick at No. 5 on Reese, it set up a 2026 linebacker corps that could be terrifying. But it also created a log jam for the outside linebacker spots with Brian Burns, 2025 No. 1 pick Abdul Carter, and 2022 first-rounder Kayvon Thibodeaux. However, soon after he was drafted, Reese and the team suggested he might play on the inside.
Most assumed it was something they would just try on occasion and not be Reeseâs permanent spot since he showed so much potential by posting 10 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks last season for OSU. However, according to NFL insider James Palmer, the Giants are serious, and so far, Reese has looked good at that position.
