New York Giants predicted to land OT Spencer Fano in way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft
New York Giants predicted to land OT Spencer Fano in way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft
The New York Giants face a crucial upcoming season that brings a cloudy future.
After general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll were retained despite coming off a 3-14 season, there's no doubt both figures will be on the hot seat once the 2025 campaign begins.
Projecting what New York will do next offseason is difficult enough considering how much can change until then, and it's even more true given the chance that an entirely new regime could be taking over if Schoen and Daboll fail to deliver the necessary hope to keep their jobs.
With all that said, a recent way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft from CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson has Big Blue going back to the offensive line, grabbing Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano with the No. 4 overall pick.
Technician in both pass protection and against the run. Played in primarily zone scheme and fit it perfectly because of mix of athleticism and power. Technically sound run blocker who wins with power/balance.
If the Giants once again hold a selection in the top five of the draft order, it's fair to assume both Schoen and Daboll will be gone. The only saving grace in that situation would be if rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart showed some promise down the stretch of the season — even if it wouldn't result in winning games.
Fano is considered to be one of the top prospects in the upcoming class, along with Utah's other tackle Caleb Lomu. The former is entering his true junior season with the experience of playing both tackle spots throughout his collegiate career with the Utes.
Rated as the No. 14 overall prospect by Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice, Fano "is a springy athlete who can constantly stay on his feet, as well as with pass rushers and any post-snap movement, and he is also a strong finisher in the run game."
Per Pro Football Focus, Fano allowed 14 total pressures, including one sack and two quarterback hits, from the right tackle spot in 2024. With Jermaine Eluemunor entering the final year of his contract, the right tackle spot could be an enormous need for the Giants.
The 2026 NFL draft is still far in the back of the minds of the Giants front office but regardless of who is calling the shots at that point, Fano is a name to keep in mind.
Pro Football Network also previously mocked Fano to the Giants.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Share 'Adorable Giggly' Date Night Before Chiefs Minicamp
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Share 'Adorable Giggly' Date Night Before Chiefs Minicamp originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce and Grammy winner Taylor Swift have kept their public appearances to a minimum ever since the Super Bowl loss. Waves of negativity came at the couple, and they have since retreated into the darkness and out of the public eye, and it seems to have benefited them well. And now the pair was spotted in Palm Beach, Florida, recently, as they enjoyed a casual date night before the NFL's offseason work properly begins for Travis. But we didn't know anything about what happened once the pair were inside the Buccan now. A woman named Pamela Goodman, a Swift superfan, who sat near the couple, spoke exclusively to Page Six, detailing what she saw from Travis and Swift on their date night. 'They were a giggly couple on a date. They were just adorable!' she said. Goodman also revealed there was a lot of laughing from the couple as they enjoyed their night out, which didn't have much fanfare. Of course, as word spread that the couple was out, fans gathered outside to see them leave the restaurant, but it was nothing like the couple had previously experienced. With Swift not touring in 2025, and Kelce aiming for this to be his final NFL season, it feels like it is going to be a big year for the couple who clearly have some relationship plans coming down the pipeline. Well, that's the thought of many anyway. Exactly what they are, we don't know, but it is clear that after a rough patch, Travis and Taylor are living their best lives.

Adam 'Pacman' Jones charged with assaulting a police officer, booked in NKY jail
Former NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is facing a new list of criminal charges in Northern Kentucky, jail records show. Jones was booked on June 7 into the Kenton County Jail on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assaulting a police officer. Jail records show he was arrested by Covington police. Court records detailing the allegations were not immediately available. Attorney information was also not immediately available. A Covington police spokesperson confirmed the charges, saying that Jones is accused of assaulting a Covington officer. Jones was notably arrested in November in Arlington, Texas, after getting into an altercation at a hotel following the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium. A year earlier, Jones pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge in Boone County District Court. The former Bengal was arrested early Sept. 11 after Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport police responded to a call about an unruly passenger on a United Airlines flight, court records show. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but that sentence was conditionally discharged for two years, so long as Jones avoided new criminal charges. This story will be updated.

Josh Allen Making An Impact at Buffalo Bills OTAs Despite Absence
Josh Allen Making An Impact at Buffalo Bills OTAs Despite Absence originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Josh Allen has had a killer past few months. First, Allen was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player - his first. Allen also tied the knot with his longtime superstar fiancé Hailee Steinfeld over the weekend. Advertisement Allen did not appear on Tuesday for the Bills' Phase 3 practice. It's unknown if Allen and Steinfeld are off on their honeymoon - that would obviously make sense - but the assumption is that the reigning MVP will be back in Orchard Park for mandatory minicamp June 10-12. As for Allen's teammates that were present at the California wedding, everybody seemed to be in attendance at practice despite Allen's absence, including backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who filled in as QB1 for practice. Trubisky, practice squad quarterback Shane Buechele, tight end Dawson Knox, right tackle Spencer Brown and left tackle Dion Dawkins were all spotted at both Allen's wedding and Bills' practice. Allen's impact was still felt on the team, despite his absence, according to offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Advertisement "What I love about Josh is his demeanor, his approach, his mindset — it is as impressive as it gets and it's infectious around the team," said Brady. Despite being named as the most valuable player in the NFL and inking a $330 million contract, Brady has not noticed a change in Allen's approach or demeanor. "When he walks in the building, you don't feel a guy that just won the MVP last year," said Brady. "You feel a guy that's hungry and is trying to figure out ways to get better. Embracing his new teammates and trying to get them on the same page as him. It's impressive." When Allen is present, he effectively acts as an additional coach on the Bills' staff while setting records on the field. Advertisement "Year after year, I'm having to do a little less because he's doing more. That's what's impressive about him as a leader," said Brady. Allen is the only man in NFL history to total 40+ touchdowns in five consecutive seasons, and he's hoping to reproduce that mark for a sixth consecutive season in 2025, but, more importantly, Allen wants to bring the Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo.
