The New York Giants have had a weakness at the linebacker position for the last several seasons. In 2022, the Giants’ linebacking corps posted the second-worst overall grade in the NFL per PFF (35.8). To address this pitiful unit, Big Blue made a big acquisition this offseason, signing former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Bobby Okereke to be the team’s No. 1 linebacker. But behind Okereke, New York has a severe lack of depth
The Giants have lackluster LB depth
Despite this acquisition, the unit still leaves a lot to be desired, particularly on the outside. Behind Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari, the lack of depth the Giants have at the position begins to rear its ugly head, as Oshane Ximines, Jihad Ward, and Tomon Fox among others serve as lackluster outside linebacker depth.
