2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Maason Smith, iDL, LSU

It’s been noted here before that the New York Giants have a definite “type” when it comes to defensive tackles. They are constantly on the hunt for big, powerful, and explosive defensive tackles who look like nose tackles but are able to move like (relatively) much smaller men.

It’s a rare set of athletic traits, but it’s one the Giants have consistently sought out.

The 2024 NFL Draft has a number of smaller, more athletic tackles. However there are a few dancing elephants thrown in as well and Maason Smith out of LSU is among the most intriguing.
