NY Giants: Comparing the 2021 and 2020 Rosters

NY Giants Defensive Line

2020:
Starters: Leonard Williams, Dalvin Tomlinson, and Dexter Lawrence
Backups: B.J. Hill, Austin Johnson, and R.J. McIntosh

2021:
Starters:  Leonard Williams, Dexter Lawrence, and B.J. Hill
Backups:  Ifeadi Odenigbo, Austin Johnson, and R.J. McIntosh
Analysis:

The Giants defensive line returns everyone from 2020 except Dalvin Tomlinson.

Leonard Williams cashed in on a mega extension with New York, Dex Lawrence returns for year three in New York, and the reserve depth is set to come back with Hill, Johnson, and McIntosh. Replacing Dalvin Tomlinson will likely be Odneigbo from Minnesota.

it’s interesting to note the Giants and Vikings essentially swapped their defensive lineman and the Giants ended up with the better pass rusher and cheaper player.
