10 things to know about Giants Day 3 picks

JAMISON-TRAVIS-DAVIS-KELLY-MOODYS

The Giants rounded out their 2026 draft class with three picks on Day 3, all of which came in the sixth round.

It started with the selection of Auburn defensive lineman Bobby Jamison-Travis at No. 186 and was followed by Illinois offensive lineman J.C. Davis at No. 192. The Giants then used their final pick on BYU linebacker Jack Kelly at No. 193.

Here are 10 things to know about the team's three Day 3 picks.

1. Bobby Jamison-Travis started all 12 games at nose tackle for Auburn last season. The 6-foot-3, 328-pound lineman picked up a career-high 36 tackles, including two tackles for loss, and added two pass breakups. This came after seeing limited action with the Tigers from 2023-2024.

2. Prior to his time at Auburn, Jamison-Travis attended Iowa Western where he was named NJCAA first-team All-American as he helped the Reivers to a NJCAA national title. He was ranked as the No. 1 juco prospect from the state of Iowa and the No. 3 juco defensive lineman in the nation.

3. In addition to playing football in high school, Jamison-Travis also participated in wrestling and track. After a video went viral of him breaking a rim on a dunk during a pickup game, he joined the Minneapolis North High School basketball team during his senior year. He scored 27 points to go with 11 rebounds in the Twin City Championship Game.

4. J.C. Davis started 49 consecutive games to end his collegiate career, with two seasons spent at New Mexico before finishing at Illinois. He also played his freshman year at Contra Costa College. On over 1,600 pass block snaps across those final four seasons, almost all of which were spent at left tackle, Davis allowed a total of eight sacks, with no more than three sacks surrendered in any campaign.

5. Davis' best season came in 2025 when he allowed three sacks and was called for only one penalty on 776 total offensive snaps. He was Pro Football Focus' No. 3 left tackle in the nation, aided by an elite performance with his run blocking, which led to him being named first-team All-Big Ten.

6. The 6-foot-4, 322-pound lineman earned some form of all-conference recognition in all five of his collegiate seasons. He was named first-team All-CCCA as a freshman at Contra Costa College. In his two seasons at New Mexico, he earned All-Mountain West honorable mention (2022) and first-team all-conference (2023). He rounded out his career with selections as third-team All-Big Ten (2024) and first-team All-Big Ten (2025) at Illinois.

7. Jack Kelly played in 47 career games over his four collegiate seasons, the first two at Weber State and the final two at BYU. Across those four campaigns, the 6-foot-2, 240-pound linebacker totaled 190 total tackles (125 solo), 43.5 tackles for loss, 31.5 sacks, nine forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, eight pass breakups, two interceptions and one defensive touchdown.

8. Kelly played well throughout his time in college with no fewer than five sacks in any season, but he saved his best for the 2025 campaign. He led BYU with 10 sacks to go with 13.5 tackles for loss, 55 tackles, two forced fumbles, a pass breakup and seven quarterback hurries on his way to being named first-team All-Big 12. He was one of only 17 players nationally with 10 or more sacks as he lead the Cougars defense to its highest sack total since 2015. Kelly was also a Bronko Nagurski and Butkus Award Watch list honoree.

9. Kelly put on an impressive performance at this year's NFL Combine. He registered a 4.19 second 20-yard shuttle, which tied for the fastest time among linebackers in Indianapolis this year. Kelly also ran a 4.57 40-yard dash, had a 37" vertical jump and a 10'5" broad jump, all of which helped lead him to an 85 Athleticism Score from Next Gen Stats, the fourth-highest mark at his position this year.

10. A native of Kearns, Utah, Kelly grew up competing competitively in BMX dirt track racing and was a BMX dirt track champion. He began riding at the age of three and was given the nickname "Cannonball" during his early riding days.
