The New York Giants‘ defense exceeded all expectations this season. New York saw incredible performances out of multiple newly-signed free agents. Cornerback James Bradberry had an elite season, totaling 18 passes defended and linebacker Blake Martinez was phenomenal, racking up 151 combined tackles.
But the Giants’ defense was not perfect and did have a glaring weakness. The Giants’ edge rushers struggled to create consistent pressure on the quarterback and were often injured. New York could be in the market for an edge rusher this offseason, and there is a familiar name they could consider.
In Week 14, the Giants’ offensive line was terrorized by one edge rusher on the Arizona Cardinals.
