Leonard Williams’ Giants debut was sad Jets encore

Chapter Two of Leonard Williams’ NFL career began Monday night against the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium and it looked a lot like Chapter One: Pretty good, but neither impactful or memorable.

A week ago, the fifth-year defensive lineman was acquired by the Giants from the Jets via a trade for a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and a conditional 2021 fifth-rounder that becomes a fourth-rounder if the Giants sign him prior to free agency.

And, in the Giants’ 37-18 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night, Williams played well, finishing with three tackles, a quarterback hit and a couple pressures.
