South Carolina DL Powerhouse Turned NFL Journeyman
Zacch Pickens, the explosive 6-4, 300-pound South Carolina Gamecock DT, dominated college with elite quickness off the snap and interior pass-rush disruption, earning a 2023 3rd-round Bears draft nod (64th overall). His raw athleticism—highlighted by a sub-5.0 40-yard dash at the Combine—sets him apart as a high-upside rotational force, though technique refinement was key. Now 26 and freshly claimed by the Giants in May 2026 after stints with Bears/Chiefs (44 tackles, 1.5 sacks career thru 2025), he's a hungry, intense competitor perfect for teams needing DL depth and burst.
