New York Giants third-round pick Darius Alexander has undoubtedly had a different path to the NFL than many players. He spent six years at Toledo, an FBS school. He played defense, then offense, then finally switched back to the defensive line.

After making two selection in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Giants opted for Darius Alexander in Round 3.

Toledo Rockets defensive tackle Darius Alexander is a rocked-up, twitchy defender who boasts loads of potential in a variety of defensive schemes. Alexander has top-tier length and some flashes of strong gap control at the point of attack — he has the needed strength to live and play in any gap along the front.
