Darius Alexander, the New York Giants' third-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft, is ready for whatever challenge comes his way.

The 24-year-old former Toledo Rockets star was added to the Giants' defensive front on Friday night with the first pick in the third round (65th overall). Many may have seen this pick as a surprise, but not to the Giants and not to Alexander himself.

Alexander broke out at the Senior Bowl, an event the Giants' front office has an annual presence and invited Alexander to a Top 30 visit this month. Both parties saw a match in the making.
