The New York Giants Draft Gervarrius Owens out of Houston with 254th Pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The New York Giants select Houston Cougars safety Gervarrius Owens in Round 7 of the 2023 NFL Draft with the No. 254 overall pick.
In 2022, as a senior, Owens played 11 games and logged 720 snaps. He recorded 60 tackles, 11 assists, and 11 stops. In coverage, he had 6 pass breakups, one interception, and allowed a QB rating of 102.8 when targeted.
Safety & cornerback skills.
Owens, originally a cornerback now playing safety, is still developing and requires strong coaching. Despite this, he received a fourth-round grade, making him a valuable pick for the Giants in the seventh round.
The Giants are short on safeties after losing Julian Love in free agency. They needed to add some developmental depth to the secondary, and Owens fits that need.
In the seventh round, the Giants are betting on a highly athletic player with leadership potential. Owens will have a chance to develop in New York’s secondary and contribute on special teams early in his career.
