Giants Trade for Okoye in Bold Move | New York Giants News

Giants pull off another bold move, trading a future seventh-round pick for massive defensive lineman C.J. Okoye—just the third trade in 11 days as they reload their front seven. Standing at 6’6” and 365 lbs, Okoye brings gritty production and a unique backstory: born in Nigeria, he rose through the International Player Pathway Program, became the first African-born player from that program to suit up in a regular-season NFL game, and even got his start thanks to Giants legend Osi Umenyiora. With a connection to head coach John Harbaugh (who coached him in Baltimore), Okoye’s arrival signals the Giants’ commitment to building depth and power on defense—with minimal risk, just a future draft pick.
