Illinois FB JC Davis

(WAND) - The New York Giants selected Illinois offensive tackle J.C. Davis with the 192nd overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. 

Davis is the second Illini player off the board after the New England Patriots drafted pass rusher Gabe Jacas in the second round on Friday. 

Davis earned first team All-Big Ten honors during his final season in Champaign after finishing as the No. 3-graded left tackle in the nation, per Pro Football Focus (PFF).
