Ojulari’s talent is undeniable.

Leading the nation’s toughest college football conference in sacks, forced fumbles, and tackles for a loss is no small task. It’s a big deal for any defender and it’s why so many people are high on Ojulari’s chances of success in New York.

Ojulari has already played in many big games from Bowl games to SEC Championships. He’s lined up against NFL linemen on offense and dealt with pro players all around him. The lights have never been too bright for Ojulari, but there’s no bigger stage than New York.

Ojulari was an All-SEC player for a reason in 2021. He is a well-built, freakish athlete who combines power and speed with talent and football IQ.

He could come in and be the NY Giants’ top pass-rusher on the team right away. Ojulari has a nice toolkit of pass rush moves to win battles with linemen and his raw power allows him to anchor in the run game as well. If Ojulari puts it all together in camp, he could find himself in a starting spot come Week 1.
