Giants 2021 roster profile: DT Danny Shelton big man with big shoes to fill

“This guy is so wide I think he can two-gap without moving.”

That is what I wrote about nose tackle Danny Shelton the first time I took a good look at him during New York Giants mandatory mini-camp a few weeks ago.

Can he, though, successfully help the Giants overcome the loss of nose tackle Dalvin Tomlinson to the Minnesota Vikings in free agency?
