New York Giants: Defensive Breakout Candidate of the Year

The New York Giants lack proven talent on the defensive line and will be looking towards their youth to pick up the slack after trading Olivier Vernon. It’s possible general manager Dave Gettleman elects to draft a pass rusher in the top portion of the first round, but regardless only one side of the defensive front will be filled.

The Giants will expect 2018 third-round pick, Lorenzo Carter, to break out after a solid rookie campaign. He racked up four sacks and 43 combined tackles, including 10 quarterback hits. There’s optimism surround the young defender, as his length and speed around the edge present a great opportunity for success.
