The New York Giants didn’t bring in many undrafted free agents on the defensive side of the ball. But that lack of competition could bode well for Trace Ford of Oklahoma.
Ford flew under the radar almost completely throughout the draft process for a few reasons. He wasn’t particularly productive due to how he was used — as a rotational player who wore a wide variety of hats — and he also lost a significant chunk of his college career to injury.
He suffered a torn ACL in 2020, followed by a second torn ACL in 2021 (one in each knee).
