The linebacking corps is one of the more difficult position groups on the New York Giants to predict. Jasper Brinkley, Keenan Robinson and even B.J. Goodson will compete for the starting role. On the strong side, Devon Kennard seems to be the only player analysts can comfortably project as a starter, but he needs to stay healthy.
On the weak side, the competition is wide open. J.T. Thomas, Jonathan Casillas and Kelvin Sheppard will all vie for playing time this summer and a roster spot.
Throughout the summer, Thomas has emerged as a leader for the younger players.
