The New York Giants have themselves a day one starting offensive lineman in Miami’s Francis Mauigoa. Mauigoa, the Hurricanes starting right tackle for the past three seasons, was selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Giants intend to let Mauigoa, known as SiSi, at guard while getting his feet wet in the NFL. The 6-foot-6, 320 pound blue chip from American Samoa played his prep ball at IMG before starting 42 games for the ‘Canes.

Much like with Rueben Bain Jr. in his All-22 Review, we’ll be using the Cotton Bowl victory over Ohio State as the film basis of this breakdown.

Above– Mauigoa does almost everything well. He can be a POA run blocker, a combo-to-second level mover, he’s great in space on screens as well as inside and out in pass protection. Against OSU, SiSi lined up against Caden Curry, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Sonny Styles, and Arvell Reese. The former two are future NFL players (Curry in ‘26, Jackson in ‘27) and the latter two are also 1st round picks in the ‘26 draft.

Early on Matt Patricia has Curry on Mauigoa's side of the ball and eventually flips Curry and Jackson. Curry has no chance against Mauigoa on this rep and gets rag dolled at the end pic.twitter.com/VZWxtD2l9E

Above– Buckeyes DC Matt Patricia has Curry across from Mauigoa early on. Eventually he switches that match-up to Jackson which helps Curry as he’s better going against Markel Bell. Curry has no chance early here and gets rag dolled by SiSi.

Looping rushers is a lot different than straight pass pro. Here Curry and Jackson twist and Mauigoa doesn't over commit, keeps his outside leg in Curry's Jackson's midline. Excellent eyes from big SiSi and footwork to drop without width pic.twitter.com/CdXbbotXqs

Above– Curry and Jackson are on the same side of the DL here. Mauigoa is fantastic at keeping his eyes on the inside or most dangerous threat while never ignoring potential loopers or outside pressure.

Gap and hinge against Reese to wall him off and allow Mark Fletcher Jr. to cut back to his side. pic.twitter.com/2EavFInqB1

Above– Mauigoa uses a traditional gap-hinge blocking technique on the back side of the run. His dominance of Reese allows Mark Fletcher Jr. to cutback on the run and pick up positive yardage.

Mauigoa can be a dominant play-side blocker, but he's also great out in space. For outside zone (OZ) he's the help to 2nd level guy. You'll see the jab, and then he gets horizontal to block Sonny Styles, another 1st rounder. pic.twitter.com/xFrM7K3Fdv

Above– Big dudes like SiSi are always going to be dominant in POA blocking, ie base blocks and combos. Here he secures the gap on outside zone and then works horizontally to the 2nd level against Sonny Styles. Styles is a 1st rounder and 4.46 40 guy who is cutoff by Mauigoa.

Miami dials up "duo" a popular run concept over the past few years. Here Mauigoa works the combo to the 2nd level LB which is Reese, the 1st rounder. When his hands are on you, you aren't coming off to make a play. Nice compact punch pic.twitter.com/vxda9uiGT7

Above- DUO DUO DUO is like Marcia Marcia Marcia. All we hear about as ‘Canes fans (and NFL fans, and coaches) is “duo.” I like this TE motion into Duo. The TE’s job is to pick up the 5-tech (DE) while Mauigoa and Anez Cooper combo the 2-tech (DT). Mauigoa works to the 2nd level which is Reese, and once SiSi’s hands are on you they aren’t coming off.

This sack isn't on SiSi it's on Beck. Mauigoa does a great job of controlling the pass rush and Beck runs directly into a sack, even with an open Malachi Toney on the mesh route. pic.twitter.com/xe8692zGIE

Above– This sack may be ‘credited’ to Mauigoa, but this is on the Arizona Cardinals new QB Carson Beck. Beck has an open Malachi Toney on the mesh concept and he’s even looking at him. But Beck panics and tries to flip his hips and then escape. The timing is all off and SiSi can only do so much. He dominated this block against Jackson for the 3.2 seconds someone can ask for from an OT.

Here's the NY Giants 1st round OT dominating a 6-6 former Florida Gatorade POTY in Kenyatta Jackson Jr. I think Jackson can be a 1st rounder in '27. Completely shutdown by Mauigoa here- you can't bullrush a bull pic.twitter.com/SmCuADXsXe

Above– Mauigoa dominates Jackson on this rep. You can’t bullrush a bull and I think Mauigoa can handle the power of the DT’s in the NFL as much as the speed of the DE’s.

Another example of helping combo to the 2nd level and working in space. While Mauigoa's footwork gets off here, he is blocking a guy that ran a 4.46 40 at the combine while testing off the charts in every category. And what does Styles do? Nothing. pic.twitter.com/YsVVygg1iw
