The New York Giants have a “type” when it comes to defensive tackles. After selecting Dexter Lawrence 17th in the 2019 NFL Draft overall there can’t be any dispute that the Giants have a very specific player prototype and set of traits in mind when it comes to the defensive tackle position.
Those traits are: Big, strong, and having deceptive agility.
Over the last three years the Giants have selected Lawrence, B.J. Hill, and Dalvin Tomlinson, and each of those players shares traits with former Giants Linval Joseph and Johnathan Hankins.
