Houston DL Ed Oliver could be a difference maker for the Giants’ defense

Houston’s Ed Oliver has been one of the most hotly anticipated draft prospects to come out in years, probably since Jadeveon Clowney was drafted in 2014.

The 6-foot-2, 285-pound athletic freak has been on the NFL’s radar since he was a coveted high school recruit. He surprised by landing in Houston, but never made any secret of the fact that his goal was to be a top draft pick and play in the NFL.

Oliver will finally be drafted this year, and will be one of the first players selected in the 2019 NFL Draft.
