New York Giants hosted Josiah Trotter, Chris McClellan on top-30 visits

[ASFN Admin]

The New York Giants concluded their pre-draft visits on Wednesday, with just days remaining until the 2026 NFL draft begins.

The Giants hosted Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter for a top-30 visit on the final day NFL teams are permitted to host their 30 most desired prospects before the draft, reports NorthJersey.com’s Art Stapleton.

Trotter recorded 2.0 sacks and 13 tackles for loss in 2025 at Missouri. He also registered 14 total pressures last season. Trotter previously led the Big 12 in assisted tackles as a freshman at West Virginia, posting 56 before transferring to Missouri in 2025.

The Giants also hosted Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan for a top-30 visit at this year’s deadline, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

McClellan recorded 6.0 sacks and eight tackles for loss at Missouri last season. The Giants have an even greater need at defensive tackle this offseason after Dexter Lawrence requested a trade earlier this spring.

McClellan is a candidate for the Giants to select on Day 2 or 3 of the draft, where he could play next to Lawrence or potentially serve as his replacement in 2026.
