• New York Giants UDFAs: Get to know Trace Ford, LB/EDGE, Oklahoma

Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Did the Giants find a diamond in the rough? The New York Giants didn’t bring in many undrafted free agents on the defensive side of the ball. But that lack of competition could bode well for Trace Ford of Oklahoma. Ford flew under the radar almost completely throughout the draft process for a few reasons. He wasn’t particularly productive due to how he was used ...2025

• Darius Alexander’s unique journey lands him with the New York Giants

Darius Alexander | Kirby Lee-Imagn Images New York Giants third-round pick Darius Alexander has undoubtedly had a different path to the NFL than many players. He spent six years at Toledo, an FBS school. He played defense, then offense, then finally switched back to the defensive line. He has a 6-year-old son he is raising. There are likely few players in the 2025 draft class who had to ba...2025

• New York Giants depth chart: What does it look like entering the 2025 NFL Draft?

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Let’s assess It’s DRAFT day and the New York Giants have prepared their roster for the annual event where hopes are high and dreams are made. The Giants signed two veteran quarterbacks in free agency, which lessens the immediate importance of the position in a draft that lacks signal-calling star power. However, the roster is not quite complete and there are vulnerab...2025

Cam Ward | Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images Since I have endorsed the idea, here is what it might look like I have gone all-in on the idea that trading up to No. 1 for Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the New York Giants’ best play this offseason — even if it is not an ideal thing to have to do.

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images The Giants keep talking about run fits and other technicalities for why they don’t defend the run well.

2025
"Giants defensive line coach Andre Patterson loves players with “knockback” in their games."

2024
"One coach you can expect Zimmer to at least pursue, is current Giants defensive line coach and former co-defensive coordinator under Zimmer in Minnesota, Andre Patterson."

2023
"Defensive line coach Andre Patterson said during training camp that the team’s veteran defensive linemen quickly realized that Jordon Riley was more than a non-descript seventh-round pick, and took an interest in helping him."

2022
"According to multiple reports, Andre Patterson is joining New York as the team’s defensive line coach."

2021
"The Vikings announced the promotion of Andre Patterson assistant head coach."

2020
"Adam Zimmer, coach Mike Zimmer's son, and Andre Patterson were named co-defensive coordinators Monday for the Minnesota Vikings, and Gary Kubiak was officially named offensive coordinator."

2017
"* I caught up this week with Vikings veteran defensive line coach Andre Patterson, who had the responsibility to keep things running in Minnesota's OTA sessions while notoriously hard-charging head coach Mike Zimmer was home at his Kentucky ranch, trying to rest and recover from right eye surgery, his eighth since he suffered a detached retina last fall."

2016
"While Holmes didn't qualify for SackSEER because he wasn't invited for the combine, he led Division I football with 18 sacks at Montana in 2015 and posted a pro day workout with numbers that led Minnesota Vikings defensive line coach Andre Patterson to compare him to Pro Bowler Everson Griffen, another insanely athletic former Day 3 selection."

2015
"The only exception was Isame Faciane, who was signed as an undrafted free agent after the Vikings hired his former line coach from Florida International, assistant defensive line coach Andre Patterson."
