1. LB Corey Littleton

Cory Littleton primarily played special teams his first few years in the league, but he’s grown into a legitimate beast at the linebacker position and had a whopping 134 tackles in 2019 along with two INTs, 2 forced fumbles, nine passes defended and 3.5 sacks. While the Rams defense left a lo to be desired this year, none of that can be put on Littleton, who had a career year.

He provides a great middle of the field presence and recorded the lowest missed tackle percentage – at 3.6% – along with recording the ninth-best coverage grade by a linebacker via PFF. The Rams linebacker likely will be highly coveted this offseason so the Giants will have to cough up some cash for his services, but it should be well worth it given Littleton is just hitting the prime of his career at age 26.
