Giovanni Manu

Giovanni Manu

DET • OL • #59

Lions selected British Columbia OT Giovanni Manu with the No. 126 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Nicknamed “Baby Shaq” by college teammates, Manu impressed NFL teams with his workout metrics and sheer size. He met with a range of teams, including the Broncos and Cardinals, before landing with Detroit. His vertical jump placed Manu in the 97th percentile of all offensive linemen in this year’s draft class. He should immediately compete for snaps on the Detroit offensive line, one of the best in the NFL.
