In the weeks before training camp, we’ll break down each position on the Giants roster to highlight the team’s strengths, weaknesses and the depth-chart battles that will determine who’s around for Week 1:
Linebackers
Returning players: Devon Kennard, Mark Herzlich, Brad Bars, Jasper Brinkley, J.T. Thomas, Jonathan Casillas
Key newcomers: Keenan Robinson (free agent), B.J. Goodson (draft, fourth round), Kelvin Sheppard (free agent)
Assessment: Get set for another season where the linebackers are support players. The Giants did not address this position high in the NFL Draft or spend much money on it in free agency.
