Overview
- The Giants used a sixth-round pick Saturday to select Jack Kelly at No. 193, which team site Big Blue View noted was likely their final pick of the draft.
- Kelly played two seasons at BYU after transferring from Weber State with defensive coordinator Jay Hill and totaled 106 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss and 15 sacks.
- The 6-foot-2, 242-pound linebacker posted a 4.57-second 40-yard dash with a 37-inch vertical and a 10-foot-5 broad jump, pointing to burst that shows up as a blitzer.
- Dane Brugler of The Athletic and ESPN’s Scouts Inc. describe an explosive, physical run defender and locker-room asset who can help on special teams but shows stiffness in coverage and can overrun angles.
- He is BYU’s first draftee since 2024 and the program’s first linebacker drafted since 2019, ending a short draft gap for the Cougars.
