Logan Ryan is about as unlikely a leader on the Giants’ defense as you can imagine.
How unlikely? Well, he wasn’t even on the team a little over a month ago. And he might not have even been with them at all had rookie safety Xavier McKinney not suffered a broken foot late in training camp.
But here he is, a 29-year-old defensive back with seven-plus seasons of experience, two Super Bowl rings and an outsized personality that is already paying off for a new coaching staff and a mostly new cast of defensive players.
