New York Giants Training Camp Preview: Edge Oshane Ximines
Oshane Ximines may be just 25 years old, but he made NFL history when, at age 22, he became the first player from Old Dominion University to be selected in the NFL Draft.
Ximines’ arrival to the Giants is somewhat of a bittersweet one, given that he was drafted with one of the picks the Giants acquired in the Odell Beckham Jr. trade. The other draft pick, of course, would end up being defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II.
Since being drafted, Ximines has only played a full season once, in his rookie season.
In 2020, Ximines would start three of the first four games of the season before being placed on the injured reserve with a shoulder injury. In 2021, he was either inactive or active in seven games, causing one to wonder if perhaps he had a future with this team.
Fortunately for Ximines, the new regime has offered everyone a clean slate, which he needs to take advantage of, especially given the addition of some new faces at the outside linebacker position.
