Giants agreed to terms with No. 49 overall pick DT Johnathan Hankins on a four-year contract.
Hankins is capable of swallowing up opposing running backs at 6-foot-3, 320 pounds, but flashed an inconsistent motor in the Big 10. He also turned in an underwhelming 5.31 in the 40-yard dash, and painfully-slow 1.82 ten-yard split. He'll have to prove he's ready to work at an NFL level before siphoning snaps from NT Linval Joseph. May 10 - 12:23 PM

Johnathan Hankins - DL - Giants

The Giants plan to utilize No. 49 overall pick Johnathan Hankins as a two-down run-stuffing 4-3 nose tackle.

Hankins is 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds. "Big, wide-bodied space-eater inside," described scouting director Marc Ross. "His skill set was real easy to identify. You watch him play, and that’s what he does, he just shuts people down when they try to run the ball." Hankins will push incumbent NT Linval Joseph for snaps.

Johnathan Hankins - DL - Giants

Giants selected Ohio State DT Johnathan Hankins with the No. 49 overall pick.

Tutored by former NFLer Mike Vrabel at Ohio State, Hankins adds more depth to the Giants' rebuilt defensive line. Hankins (6-foot-2 7/8, 320) was a hot-and-cold player in the B1G, flashing lots of talent but an inconsistent motor. Not a three-technique rusher, Hankins is more of a 4-3 nose. He managed 16.5 career tackles for loss and five sacks as a Buckeye. Hankins confirmed his underwhelming athleticism with a 5.31 forty and molasses-slow 1.82 ten-yard split at the Combine.

Johnathan Hankins - DL - Giants

Ohio State DT Johnathan Hankins measured 6-foot-2 7/8 and 320 pounds at Saturday's NFL Combine weigh-in.

It's just a shade shy of Hankins' 6-foot-3, 322-pound listing by Ohio State. After totaling 14 tackles for loss and three sacks as a sophomore in 2011, Hankins' production plummeted to 5.0 TFLs and 1.0 sacks as a junior. He offers the talent of a first-round pick, but obviously has some questions to answer.
