The NY Giants’ defense was among the most improved in the league in 2021, thanks to defensive coordinator Patrick Graham crafting a scheme that maximized whoever was on the field each week, and some marquee additions at all three levels paying dividends.
By season’s end, cornerback James Bradberry and Logan Ryan were among the NY Giants’ most impactful defenders, with Bradberry making his first Pro Bowl and Ryan earning a long-term extension.
Bradberry and Ryan combined for 148 total tackles, one sack, four interceptions, and three forced fumbles.
