The Giants Made One Great Signing: Bobby Okereke

The 27-year-old linebacker, originally drafted in the third round from Stanford, has had an impressive run with the Colts.

Last season, Okereke amassed a commendable 112 tackles, recorded a 10.8% missed tackle rate, and allowed 651 yards in coverage, which included two touchdowns and four pass breakups.

With a history of covering talented receivers, he’s more than just a reliable defender.
