Giants shaking up linebacker position with Week 1 approaching

The New York Giants have pulled out all the stops to bolster various positions on their roster, and the linebacker spot is no exception.

Enter Bobby Okereke, a freshly-signed free agent hailing from the Indianapolis Colts. Slated to serve as the MIKE linebacker, Okereke brings much-needed strengths in run support and coverage—areas that have been the Giants’ Achilles heel in recent years.

Sophomore Surge: Expectations from McFadden and Beavers

Pairing with Okereke, the Giants have high hopes for second-year players Micah McFadden and Darrian Beavers. McFadden comes with some NFL experience, boasting 435 total snaps.
