The New York Giants have signed Daniel Faalele, a former fourth-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens who started every game at right guard for the team over the past two seasons. Faalele is the third member of the Ravens' 2022 draft class to join the Giants, following punter Jordan Stout and tight end Isaiah Likely.

Why it matters

The Giants are looking to bolster their offensive line after a disappointing 2025 season, and Faalele's size and experience starting in the NFL make him an intriguing addition. His ability to open holes in the running game could also help the Giants improve their rushing attack.

The details

Faalele, who stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 370 pounds, has appeared in 66 regular-season games with 35 starts, 34 of which have been at right guard. He also has experience starting at left tackle. Last season, Faalele helped the Ravens' offense rank among the league leaders in several rushing categories, including yards per rush, rushing yards per game, and rushing touchdowns.

  • Faalele was drafted by the Ravens in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
  • He started every game for the Ravens at right guard over the last two seasons (2024 and 2025).
  • Faalele signed with the Giants on April 10, 2026.
