Giants Select Cornerback Colton Hood on Day 3

The New York Giants selected cornerback Colton Hood during Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft to bolster their secondary. Hood, who described himself as a 'pit bull' and expressed excitement to join the organization, aims to prove that teams made a mistake by passing on him earlier. His selection was announced alongside the Giants' firm denial of trade rumors involving star pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. Hood will now compete for a roster spot during the team's off-season training program.
