Ed Oliver recently posted freakish athletic testing numbers at his Pro Day in addition to the countless hours of impressive game film and now the Houston 2019 NFL Draft defensive line prospect will meet with the New York Giants.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Oliver will be welcomed into the Giants facility -- likely this week -- for a private visit.

The Giants have been planning for this visit for quite some time. The report of Oliver visiting the team facility was first communicated by The Record's beat reporter Art Stapleton at the end of March.

"Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver met with the NYGiants formally at the Combine and he will take a Top 30 visit with nYG in East Rutherford, per source," Stapleton Tweeted. "He's blew up his Pro Day today as expected as well."

Stapleton hit the nail on the head -- Oliver blew up with a dominant Pro Day on Thursday.

The short shuttle drill is viewed as one of the most important athletic testing drills for a defensive lineman as it shows off his ability to change direction and lateral agility necessary to consistently rush the passer. Oliver's short shuttle time on Thursday was 4.19. Olivier completed this absurd short shuttle time despite weighing in at 281 pounds. This is why Oliver was trending on Twitter and the draft community was buzzing on Thursday.

For comparison's sake, running back Saquon Barkley delivered a 4.24 short shuttle time at 233 pounds. According to PFF's Sam Monson, Oliver's short shuttle ranks in the top-five of the 2019 NFL Draft class among all prospects at the wide receiver position.

Here are some other notable NFL stars who tested with a similar short shuttle to Oliver, via Jordan Reid.

4.18 – Antonio Brown

4.19 – DeSean Jackson

4.24 – Le’Veon Bell

4.25 – Julio Jones

4.39 – Aaron Donald

According to Tony Pauline, Oliver also posted an official 4.73 40-yard dash and 7.15 3-cone drill -- unbelievable times for a 281-pound defensive lineman.

According to Mock Draftable, here's where Oliver's athletic testing ranks among all defensive linemen.

40-yard dash: 98th percentile

Vertical jump: 98th percentile

Broad jump: 98th percentile

Short shuttle: 96th percentile

3-cone: 95th percentile

Oliver (6-2, 281 pounds) does not profile as a defensive player whose size fits the old George Young model for drafting Giants defensive linemen, but there is a good reason to believe things have changed under the new regime under general manager Dave Gettleman. During the 2018 NFL Draft, Gettleman selected defensive lineman B.J. Hill who is about the same height and just 20 pounds heavier than Oliver. Hill went on to have an excellent rookie season for the Giants.

If the Giants select Oliver in the 2019 draft, he will likely slot in as an immediate starter at the team's 5-tech defensive end position -- left defensive end. The Giants would then have a ridiculously young and talented defensive line that includes Oliver, Hill, and Dalvin Tomlinson. Teaming up Oliver with second-year outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter on the left side could provide the Giants with a massive pass rush boost should Carter take a second-year leap forward.
