The New York Giants signed Elijah Chatman after the 2024 NFL Draft. Chatman is a 5-foot-11, 278-pound defensive lineman who recorded 80 pressures, 13.5 sacks, and 34.5 TFLs through five seasons at SMU. The 23-year-old caught the eye of the Giants coaching staff through training camp and is a serious contender for a spot on the 53-man roster.
Andre Patterson — the Giants’ DL coach — told the media that Chatman may be the strongest player on the team, which is saying a lot. His power on tape is evident; he tested well on his pro day and was listed on Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks List” heading into the 2023 season.
