After two years of New York Giants players failing to get accustomed to James Bettcher’s playbook, Big Blue decided not to retain the veteran defensive coordinator. Therefore, the organization brought in Patrick Graham, a 41-year-old Yale graduate who’s worked with a number of teams since entering the league in 2009.
Of course, this will be Graham’s second stint with New York, as he was previously Big Blue’s defensive line coach during the 2016 and 2017 campaigns. Graham thus has familiarity with a few players who’ve remained on the roster to this day, but it’s actually a former Giant who’s providing him with a significant amount of praise.
