If there’s one thing that every defense could use, it’s another disruptive defensive lineman. To quote former New York Giants GM Ernie Accorsi, “You can never have enough pass rushers”.
LSU defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo is going to make his hay as a pass rusher in the pros. He’s undersized for an NFL defensive tackle, but he’ll be drafted for his ability to penetrate gaps, not occupy blockers.
The Giants’ defense fell in a frustrating paradox where they had one of the NFL’s highest pass rush win rates, but lowest sack totals. In short, the Giants were winning their rushes, but failing to finish their rushes.
