Reese explains selection of Flowers with ninth overall pick.
The New York Giants have the reputation of being a team that adheres to a belief in a certain physical profile, especially along the offensive and defensive lines. They love size.

So, the selection of offensive tackle Ereck Flowers with the ninth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft should probably not come as a surprise. At 6-foot-6, 329 pounds with 34½ inch arms and having put up 37 bench press reps to lead offensive linemen at the NFL Combine, Flowers fits the profile to a T.
