The Giants are going through final preparations for the NFL Draft, and linebacker is a position that general manager Dave Gettleman and the scouting staff are doing plenty of homework on.

As first reported on the Giants Extra text service, the Giants have shown consistent interest in Temple linebacker Shaun Bradley dating back to the NFL Scouting Combine, and throughout the pre-draft process, according to an individual with knowledge of the situation.

Bradley has the potential to be chosen anywhere between the fourth and sixth rounds of the draft later this month.

Fortunately for the Westhampton native, he was invited to the Combine, so teams got the chance to see him go through a full workout. He likely won’t need to worry about the unprecedented uncertainty that many prospects are dealing with during the coronavirus pandemic.

At the Combine, Bradley ran the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds, put up 14 reps on the bench press, ran the three-cone drill in 7.07 seconds and the short-shuttle in 4.24 seconds.

At 6-foot-1 and 235 pounds, Bradley was a stalwart in the middle of the Owls’ defense, leading the team with 87 tackles, eight for a loss, and broke up three passes as a senior in 2019.

“[Teams] say [they like my] ability to cover ground, get sideline to sideline and cover tight ends in open space,” Bradley said, via the Allentown Morning Call. “The Combine helped because I showed in drills that I can move fluid.”

During free agency, the Giants made bolstering the linebacking corps a top priority by signing Blake Martinez, Kyler Fackrell, and extending David Mayo.

LIkely best-suited as a WILL linebacker, Bradley could have an opportunity to impress the coaching staff early on, given the uncertain timetable for Ryan Connelly to return from a torn ACL. Bradley would likely have the chance to contribute on special teams immediately, with the chance to fight for a starting job in the future.
