Giants select Minnesota C John Michael Schmitz with 57th overall pick in 2023 NFL Draft

Following an outstanding first-round acquisition of Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks, the New York Giants made another valuable selection in the second round by securing Minnesota Center, John Michael Schmitz.

John Michael Schmitz addresses a crucial position for Big Blue, which was previously occupied by Jon Feliciano in 2022 and Billy Price in 2021. The Giants urgently required an upgrade after years of subpar performance, and Michael Schmitz offers exceptional potential for the next four years under his rookie contract.

The Giants got a good one with John Michael Schmitz:

Standing at 6’3″ and weighing 301 pounds, Schmitz ranked fifth in the center class in terms of athleticism score.
