Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 84.70 (Starter)
Pro Comparison: Christian Barmore
Summary

Darius Alexander is a high-cut, high-motor player with twitch, size and power. He's athletic enough to win with a quick first step or with power. And that power flashes on just about every play, even vs. double teams. He had a big week at the Senior Bowl, which followed an impressive season for Toledo.

About
  • 2023-24: Two-time All-MAC (third team in 2023 and second team in 2024)
  • Included in The Athletic's ""Freaks List"" (credited with benching 400 pounds, posting a 30-inch vertical jump and and clocking in at 20 miles per hour on GPS tracking)
Strengths
  • Quick first step and consistently good hand usage; will walk OL into backfield more times than not
  • Flashes an array of pass-rush moves and will get his hands in throwing lanes when he can't get home
  • Plays with low pad level; has strength to disengage and clog gap vs. the run
Weaknesses
  • Not from a Power 4 program, but his tape proves he can play with anyone
  • Very few holes in his game
Combine Data
  • 40-yard dash: 4.95 seconds
  • Bench press: 28 reps
  • Vertical jump: 31.5 inches
  • 20-yard shuttle run: 4.79 seconds
  • Broad jump: 9 feet, 3 inches
  • 3-cone drill: 7.6 seconds

  • Giants' Darius Alexander: Giants add athletic Round 3 tackle

    Rotowire

    The Giants selected Alexander in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 65th overall.

    Alexander (6-foot-4, 305 pounds) is very athletic yet never produced at Toledo like you would expect of a someone with his athletic talent. Alexander didn't earn a starting role until his fifth season, which is basically a red flag and undercuts his otherwise impressive athletic testing (4.95-second 40-yard dash, 31.5-inch vertical jump). The Giants will hope that Alexander is simply a late bloomer, though at worst he should be a productive rotational lineman thanks to his measurables.
