Giants 90-man roster breakdown: DT Kenrick Ellis could be a big addition

Ellis brings size, run-stuffing ability to a team that needs those things.

Fixing the run defense, worst in the NFL a season ago, was an offseason priority for the New York Giants. One move they made to try to help in that department was to sign 6-foot-4, 346-pound run-stuffing defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis, who spent the first four seasons of his career with the New York Jets. Let's look more closely at Ellis as we continue our player-by-player profiles of the 90-man roster the Giants will bring to training camp.
