As the New York Giants defense struggled, to put it mildly, the past couple of seasons defensive tackle Markus Kuhn was an easy and often vilified target for frustrated fans.
Sure, Kuhn wasn’t very good during his four seasons with the Giants. Problem is, though, all of the vitriol directed his way was misplaced. The problem wasn’t Kuhn, the problem was that largely because there wasn’t anyone else to turn to the Giants were giving starter snaps to a try-hard-but-not-very-talented seventh-round pick from Germany who had not actually played a whole lot of football.
