What happened: New York Giants linebacker Arvell Reese shed a blocker with one hand and brought down the ball carrier with the other. He arrived as the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.

Why it matters: Top-five picks are expected to contribute immediately on defense. Strength at the point of attack is central to Reese's linebacker projection.

What to watch: His continued work in the Giants linebacker rotation is the development to track.
