Marlon Davidson

NFL defensive tackle. Position: DT. Team: New York Giants.

Quick Facts

  • Position: Defensive Tackle (DT)
  • Team: New York Giants (NYG)
  • Draft: 2020, 2nd round, Atlanta Falcons
  • Age: 28 years old

2026 Outlook

Marlon Davidson signed with the New York Giants in late July 2026 on a tryout basis after spending 2025 with the Houston Texans (appeared in just 1 game). The 28-year-old former second-round pick (2020, Falcons) is a depth/rotational piece in the Giants' interior defensive line rebuild following the trade of All-Pro Dexter Lawrence II to the Cincinnati Bengals. While Davidson rarely lived up to his draft status with Atlanta, he produced one memorable play (2021 pick-six against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers). At 6-foot-3, 303 lbs, he fits the physical profile for new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson's 3-4 scheme, which requires space-eating interior linemen. With multiple veterans injured or on the PUP list, Davidson represents a low-risk reserve option to compete for depth snaps and provide veteran presence (per Giants Sign Former 2nd Round Pick Amid Defensive Line Injury News).

Role / Depth Chart

Backup/depth defensive tackle competing in training camp and preseason. Unlikely to be a starter given depth chart composition.

No reported injuries. Missed most of 2025 after appearing in just 1 game with Houston Texans.
