Wouldn't that be something? The Giants could have ODU bookends on their defensive line.

If you read the Giants version of the Monarch Den, no one is expecting Ximines to be signed. He had a good season and should be cheap to sign, but who knows what NYG are thinking.

I suspect if the Giants let him go, he will find a home somewhere else in the NFL.

He's in a tough spot. I expect him to find a home somewhere but he's a bit of a tweener and not a real twitchy pass rusher.

Mel Kiper released his first mock today. He has Keion White going 19th overall.

Wow. That would be awesome.

Remember he was listed at one of the top freaks in college football, getting up to 20 mph at close to 300 pounds. I think he may take a little bit of development and might be scheme dependent bc he doesn't have much bend/pass rush moves. But, he's a freak physically. He seems like the perfect Patriots draft pick.

Remember that, at this time in the process, Kiper had Ximines as a first round draft pick. That wasn't too accurate.

Too early for mock drafts until the combine, anyways.

The Senior Bowl is usually a good starting point. A few guys will fly up the boards and many will drop like flies depending on how they practiced and played.

Tim Ward was released by the Packers. He's signed with the XFL's Houston Roughnecks. I wonder if we'll see Ximines in the XFL this spring.

I would be shocked if Ximenes wasnt in the NFL somewhere.

Zach P is going to the super bowl (along with Lavato? I'm assuming he's still on the Eagles).

Kind of watched the game, but not closely and didn't notice ZP get any targets.

Nonetheless, good for ODU alumni to be Super Bowl participants

Saw him targeted at least one time for sure. Ball hit him in the hands but defender got a hand in there as well for an incompletion.

He is most often deployed as a blocker.

While I hate that the Eagles are in the superbowl, seeing Zach on socials reacting to going made me so happy for him. And yes, Rick Lovato still long snaps for the Eagles. Two Monarchs in the superbowl! How awesome

Mixed feeling on Pascal. I dislike the Eagles, but ignoring that...he went to a team where he can win...which is great. But, he's really not being used much. Special teams and as 4th/5th WR and blocker. Maybe thats his best role, but I'd rather see him involved in the passing game.

There are three reasons why Pascal isn't more involved in the passing game. Those three reasons are DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and AJ Brown.
