The New York Giants are opening a competition for their No. 2 linebacker spot this summer. After signing LB Bobby Okerke in free agency, their primary linebacker position is filled. However, the second starting job alongside Okereke still needs to be filled. Micah McFadden seems to be the man for the job as the second-year linebacker has been standing out at training camp.
Brian Daboll says Micah McFadden is “dependable”
McFadden is the frontrunner for the No. 2 linebacker role after appearing in all 17 games for Big Blue as a rookie. Making seven starts in 2022, McFadden totaled 59 combined tackles, six tackles for loss, and two sacks.
