With their third-round draft pick, the Giants selected outside linebacker Oshane Ximines at pick 95 overall. The 6-foot-4 inch linebacker became the first player ever drafted out of Old Domininon.

During an interview with SNY, he was asked about how the jump from a small school to the NFL has been for him.

"I feel like the biggest jump was the playbook and the complexity of it, but once you get out on the field it's just football man, no matter who you're playing against, it's the same thing you've been doing your whole life," Ximines said.

 

Ximines was a two-time First Team All C-USA player during his career at ODU, and had 176 tackles, 32.5 sacks and one interception over his four seasons.
