With the 49th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Giants select Ohio St. DT Jonathan Hankins. Few defensive tackles have the talent to dominate games whenever they want to, but Hankins is one of those who can. When he keeps his knees bent, maintains leverage and uses hands aggressively, he makes it look easy jolting offensive linemen upright and driving them backwards into the backfield to blow up running plays or to collapse the pocket. Similar to former Spartan Jerel Worthy, Hankins can be the best player on the field and make impact plays every series when he plays aggressively. He has flashed the ability to defeat pass blocks with remarkable hand and foot quickness for a man his size or just with raw strength by over-powering blocker. Anchoring against one on one offensive line run blocks is impressive, but Hankins makes it look easy taking on and defeat double team run blocks when he plays with leverage and uses hands well.
