The New York Giants selects Purdue Offensive Lineman Marcus Mbow with the 154th overall pick in 2025 NFL draft.
On the third day of the 2025 NFL Draft, the New York Giants finally turned their attention to the offensive line. With the 154th pick, they selected Purdue’s Marcus Mbow, a 6-foot-4, 303-pound lineman who brings valuable experience and versatility.
Mbow spent four seasons at Purdue, appearing in 36 games with 32 starts between right guard and right tackle. His strong play earned him Second Team Freshman All-America honors in 2022 and three straight All-Big Ten Honorable Mentions from 2022 to 2024.
Although many expected him to be drafted earlier, Mbow found himself waiting longer than anticipated. He had gathered with family and friends for a draft party Friday night, but the third and fourth rounds came and went without his name being called. That setback only adds to the chip on his shoulder as he heads to the NFL.
Familiar Face for the Giants.
The Giants are already familiar with Mbow. They hosted him on a Top 30 visit and watched him closely during the Senior Bowl. Even more interesting, he once blocked for one of their own — running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., who was a Giants draft pick last year. The two were teammates at Purdue in 2022 and 2023, creating a natural connection heading into training camp.
Opportunity to Compete Right Away.
The Giants have talked about moving Evan Neal to guard this season, opening the door for Mbow to battle for a role on the right side. His top competition will be veteran Greg Van Roten, who re-signed in free agency. With his background and drive, Mbow will have every chance to make an early impact.
