With their sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, 209th overall, the New York Giants selected Tre Hawkins, cornerback, Old Dominion University.
Hawkins is the second cornerback selected by the Giants. They took Deonte Banks in Round 1 with the 24th overall pick.
Hawkins is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound player. He set the ODU record for tackles by a cornerback with 76 in 2021. Dane Brugler of The Athletic had Hawkins rated as a priority free agent in his draft guide. Brugler writes:
He has a tall, long and limber body type with the gather-and-go skills to quickly transition vertically and stay attached to receivers.
