Francis Mauigoa Fantasy Stats

With their second top-10 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, the New York Giants have selected Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa. The 20-year-old earned All-American honors as a junior at Miami in 2025 and helped the Hurricanes reach the National Championship game. With Andrew Thomas locked in at left tackle for the Giants, Mauigoa projects as the team's right tackle of the future. His presence should make life easier for both Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo (ankle). With Mauigoa and edge rusher Arvell Reese, the Giants are building through the trenches early in the 2026 Draft.

University of Miami offensive tackle Francisc Mauigoa (back) doesn't have any new issues or concerns with his back after combine rechecks, a source told Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Mauigoa met with teams in the top third of the first round in this year's NFL draft after a request for an injury recheck was made in early March. Mauigoa, who could be the first tackle taken in this year's draft, dealt with a minor back issue late last season in college. Barring a setback with his back this summer, he should be ready to go for the start of his rookie season in the NFL this fall. The 20-year-old is a strong blocker on the edge and will be an immediate upgrade for a team's offensive line if they select him in the first round in a few weeks. There have been rumors that the Los Angeles Rams might consider Mauigoa with the 12th overall pick after Rob Havenstein retired this offseason.

University of Miami offensive tackle prospect Francis Mauigoa (back) will attend Combine Rechecks on Friday to undergo additional imaging on his back, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Mauigoa experienced discomfort late in the NCAA season while dealing with a back issue that Rapoport described as "minor." All in all, the injury doesn't sound too serious, but additional imaging could be beneficial for all parties involved. More testing will allow teams to gain clarity into Mauigoa's injury status and any potential injury risks. Meanwhile, it will benefit the lineman himself because he can use the test results to reassure teams that he is healthy going forward. As Rapoport notes, Mauigoa says he is symptom-free, but he has nothing to hide and is willing to put teams at ease by undergoing imaging. PFF's latest big board ranks Mauigoa as the #7 overall prospect and #1 tackle prospect in this month's NFL Draft.

ESPN's Field Yates said that he "would lean" toward the Cleveland Browns taking either Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate or University of Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa with the No. 6 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Either way, the Browns would be looking to upgrade their offense under new offensive-minded head coach Todd Monken. Tate, who caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025 for the Buckeyes, would be the more immediate contributor on offense and would give either quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson (Achilles) an explosive playmaker through the air that the team has been lacking. Tate, if in Cleveland, could immediately become the Browns' top wideout over Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond. Mauigoa is tempting as well as the Browns look to upgrade an O-line that was among the worst at blocking for their RBs in 2025.
