New York Giants land OLB Carter Coughlin with 218th overall pick – here’s what you need to know

Error 0:

The New York Giants secured Carter Coughlin, outside linebacker out of Minnesota with the 218th overall pick.

The New York Giants went with back to back outside linebackers in the later rounds — Penn State defender Cam Brown and Minnesota pass rusher, Carter Coughlin. Coughlin is a senior for Minnesota, weighing in at 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds.

He had a speedy 40-yard dash of the NFL combine at 4.57. He’s a bit small for an edge defender at the NFL level, but he plays with a high football IQ and motor to help them produce.
