Mbow offers five-position versatility
Guard. Tackle. Center. Marcus Mbow, the newest New York Giants offensive lineman said Saturday afternoon that he is ready and willing to play wherever he is asked.
“I feel like I’ll be able to succeed at all five positions,” Mbow said shortly after finding out the Giants had selected him in Round 5 (154th overall) in the 2025 NFL Draft. “Been working them all, and they all feel pretty good, so I’m excited to see where they want me.”
Mbow was a right tackle at Purdue, but the 6-foot-4, 302-pounder could end up better suited to play inside in the NFL. He said Saturday he was “just excited to see where I’ll be playing.”
No matter where that ends up bring, Mbow will be trying to do this to defenders trying to get past him:

“Putting people on the ground, winning reps, demoralizing people. It’s always fun,” Mbow said. “It’s definitely part of the reason I love the game.”
Like so many other players drafted by the Giants during Joe Schoen’s time as general manager, the Giants had exposure to Mbow both at the Senior Bowl and via a ‘30 visit’ to East Rutherford, N.J.
“It’s been great interactions,” Mbow said. “Had interviews with them at the Senior Bowl, top 30, thought everything went well, tried not to put too much thought into all the visits in general, but definitely excited. Definitely surprised, and I’m happy to be where I’m at.”
