Sheppard, Jasper Brinkley and Keenan Robinson are competing to start at middle linebacker
After a season during which their linebacking corps was injured and largely ineffective the New York Giants took a volume approach to trying to get better at that level of the defense. They drafted B.J. Goodson in the fourth round, re-signed Jasper Brinkley and added veterans Keenan Robinson and Kelvin Sheppard in free agency.
Today, we look at Sheppard as we continue our player-by-player profiles of the 90-man roster the Giants will bring to training camp later this month.
