The New York Giants desire to keep as much of their dominant 2016 defense together as possible, could be on the verge of receiving a significant blow. Linebacker Keenan Robinson, a key member of the Giants’ nickel packages, is reportedly traveling Monday to visit with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Robinson came to the Giants in 2016 on a one-year deal. He started only six games, but played 782 defensive snaps, or 71 percent. Robinson’s coverage ability and his pursuit in run defense helped the Giants. His 76.5 coverage grade was 33rd among linebackers graded by Pro Football Focus.
