New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh is happy with what he's seen from rookie linebacker Arvell Reese.
On Tuesday, Harbaugh was asked to evaluate Reese's training camp performance so far.
"Very encouraged," Harbaugh replied, via the team's official website. "I think he looked good today from what I could see. I can't wait to see the tape, but he's playing really well. He's been playing well the whole camp since he got here."

"You see the talent, obviously. I think he's very sharp for a first-year guy," he added. "He gets things right pretty much all the time, makes very few mistakes. He's a very serious-minded guy, and he's very determined. I mean, he's doing things well."

The Giants selected Reese with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. In his third and final collegiate season with the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2025, Reese recorded 6.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 69 total tackles.
"Kid has a real chance to be special," Giants veteran defensive tackle D.J. Reader said of Reese. "You don't really get a chance to see kids that size move around like how he does at every different position, really run around and be smart. He stays quiet and really tries to learn. He's got a real chance to be really, really good."
The Giants will begin their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 13.
