The New York Giants have selected Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields with the No. 74 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, per @AdamSchefter of ESPN.
The selection adds a significant physical presence to the Giants' offensive arsenal. Malachi Fields, known for his reliable hands and ability to win contested catches during his tenure with the Fighting Irish, was a highly productive target in the college ranks. Standing at 6-foot-4, Fields provides the New York offense with a large, vertical target on the perimeter.
Fields finished his final season at Notre Dame as one of the program's leading receivers, showcasing a consistent ability to move the chains and contribute in the red zone. The Giants entered the draft looking to bolster their depth at the wide receiver position, and Fields represents a key investment in the third round of this year's class.
The New York Giants front office continues to address roster needs through the draft as they look to build on their offensive identity. Fields is expected to compete for immediate snaps in a receiving rotation that has seen significant turnover during the offseason.
