The Giants made some tremendous adjustments to their defensive roster in the 2016 offseason. And boy did they pay off quite nicely. There is not much to suggest that this production will suddenly degrade in 2017.

New York’s defense boasted two cornerbacks, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Janoris Jenkins, who both graded in the Top 10 by Pro Football Focus. On the safety side, Landon Collins  led the team in tackles and tallied five interceptions, the most by any member on the team.

Meanwhile, edge defenders Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon combined for 15.5 sacks and 117 total tackles.

Joining these defensive forces, fresh from the draft, is 312 pound defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson out of Alabama.

As a whole last year, the Giants defense allowed just 3.6 yards per carry on the ground and just 17.8 points on average per game.

Look for these guys to keep thriving this fall.
