Giants surprisingly go Arvell Reese with No. 5 pick in 2026 NFL Draft

The Giants can’t get enough pass rushers.

Big Blue selected Ohio State pass rusher Arvell Reese with the No. 5 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, bypassing his Buckeyes teammates Caleb Downs and Sonny Styles.

Reese is viewed as a high-ceiling prospect after getting 6.5 seasons last season for Ohio State.

Reese will join Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and last year’s No. 2 pick Abdul Carter.
