Linebacker Blake Martinez

Pro Bowl or not, Blake Martinez has been a revelation for the Giants’ defense. For the first time in over ten years, the team has a solidifying figure at the linebacker position.

Blake is the rock in the middle of the team’s defense. His presence and production is irreplaceable on the team’s roster. He has been a tackling machine, racking up 128 combined tackles. He’s also made his impact felt all over the stat sheet in multiple games. Martinez has also contributed an interception, five pass deflections, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and two sacks.

Martinez was another excellent 2020 addition to this team. His impact and presence will help this team for several more years and hopefully will get more help to further boost the linebackers corps.
