The New York Giants didn’t bring in many defenders when they made contract offers to undrafted free agents.
Just five of their (unofficial) 13 UDFA signings were on the defensive side of the ball. That would seemingly give their defensive UDFAs to have a better chance of making the 53-man roster, or at least the practice squad. Unfortunately, most of the Giants’ high-profile additions in free agency and the draft were defenders.
Cornerback O’Donnell Fortune is a fifth-year senior who played 33 games for South Carolina over the last three years. He’s matched up against some of the best receivers in the SEC over that time, and was the defensive MVP at the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl thanks to a 65-yard pick-six.
