Giants have 'shown extensive interest' in Georgia Tech OL Keylan Rutledge

The New York Giants continue to prioritize bolstering their interior offensive line in the 2026 NFL draft, with strong indications they are targeting guard help early. A recent pre-draft visit with Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis reinforced the team's focus on adding physical, versatile interior linemen to protect quarterback Jaxson Dart and build a more dominant run game. Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports that in addition to Bisontis, the Giants have also " shown extensive interest " in Georgia Tech guard Keylan Rutledge.

The Giants had Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis in for a predraft visit on Friday. It only reinforced that they could be looking at a guard with their second pick at the top of the second round, 37th overall. The Giants have also shown extensive interest throughout the draft process in Georgia Tech guard Keylan Rutledge.

Two physical, nasty interior linemen. Just what the Giants seem to need and want in their new offense. New York doesn't have a single potential starting guard signed beyond this season, and its desire to protect quarterback Jaxson Dart now and into the future would align with its desire to get an offensive lineman with one of its first two picks.

Bisontis and Rutledge are considered two of the best guards in this draft. The question seems to be when the run on interior offensive linemen begins, and if they will be available when the Giants pick at 37. Rutledge, a 6-foot-4, 316-pound senior, transferred to Georgia Tech after starting 17 games at Middle Tennessee State.
