Where will NY Giants’ sacks come from in 2021?

The pressure is on for the NY Giants’ defense to take a leap forward in 2021, especially the pass-rush, so where will the sacks come from in a young-front seven?

In his first season as NY Giants defensive coordinator, Patrick Graham was tasked with “manufacturing” sacks and pressure on the quarterback, as the organization has not invested significant resources in the position over the past several offseasons.

This spring, that changed — to a degree — when the NY Giants re-signed last season’s team-leading sack-artist, defensive end Leonard Williams, and chose outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari in the second-round of April’s NFL Draft.
