New York Giants HC Joe Judge says extending Patrick Graham’s contract was ‘huge’

Patrick Graham is sticking around for at least one more year — a development that’s music to the ears of New York Giants fans. Graham’s style of game planning and situational schemes turned Big Blue’s defense around in 2020; the unit finished ninth in the NFL with 22.3 points allowed per game.

It’s a crucial situation for Joe Judge, the man who brought Graham onto the staff shortly after he earned the organization’s head-coaching job early last year. The 39-year-old gets arguably his top assistant back for 2021, and he let his excitement be known while appearing on WFAN’s “Boomer and Gio” Tuesday morning.
