The New York Giants have invested heavily in their defensive front in recent years, yet they still may need to invest more.
New defensive coordinator Shane Bowen prefers to get pressure with just four rushers, and leaving seven to drop into coverage. He often employs stunts and twists twist to create confusion among blockers, which could lead the Giants to pursue smaller, more agile defensive tackles to pair with Dexter Lawrence.
Michigan’s Kris Jenkins could well fit that mold if that’s where the Giants choose to go. Jenkins is smaller than the Giants usually prefer at 6-foot-3, 305 pounds, but he’s remarkably powerful and athletic.
