New role possible for Giants’ edge defender Azeez Ojulari

Edge defender Azeez Ojulari could be poised to take on a significant role as a designated pass rusher for the New York Giants, potentially lining up as a down lineman in specific packages. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen raised that possibility on Thursday.

“When you get to those passing situations, it’s finding the best four, whoever that is and however we got to coordinate it, to be able to get to the quarterback,” Bowen said. “He (Ojulari) gives you a lot of versatility in that regard. I think (Brian) Burns gives you some versatility. KT (Kayvon Thibodeaux) gives you some versatility in that regard.
