The Giants have only one edge rusher on their roster who has already shown he can produce in the NFL. He is the only player on the team who has ever recorded double-digit sacks in a single season, and the outside linebacker has nearly twice as many career quarterback takedowns as the rest of his position group combined.
“I know what I can do,” Markus Golden said on Saturday. “I know what I’ve done before.”
Yet Golden enters this 2019 season with what feels like more to prove than anyone else on the defense.
Maybe that’s because the height of his career (to this point) was so long ago and so far away that it barely registers as a current resume.
