New York Giants draftee Marcus Mbow lives for 'demoralizing people' on the field
Back with my Dawg!!! Proud of him and his journey !! Great pick up 🦍 — TYRONE TRACY JR (@TyroneTracy) April 26, 2025
On Saturday afternoon, the New York Giants selected Purdue offensive lineman Marcus Mbow in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft.
No pun intended, but it wasn't just a pick out of the blue.
Mbow was recently in for a Top 30 visit plus the Giants got a close-up look at him at the Senior Bowl earlier this year. But, they also know him as a blocker for one of their picks from last year's draft, running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. The two played together with the Boilermakers in 2022 and 2023.
"That's my guy," Mbow told reporters on Saturday. "We've been in touch a good amount throughout this process. I was talking to him earlier today, so I'm extremely excited to be back with him and ready to go put it back on the line for him for sure."
Asked if he could block for Tracy, Mbow had no doubts.
"I know I can block for him," he said.
Mbow can play anywhere on the line and is confident that he will be able to fulfill any role the Giants ask of him.
"No doubt," Mbow said when asked if knocking people over is something he cherished. "Putting people on the ground, winning reps, demoralizing people. It's always fun. It's definitely part of the reason I love the game."
That's the sort of identity the Giants are striving for in 2025.
