NY Giants EDGE Rushers/Outside Linebackers

2020:
Starters: Lorenzo Carter, Kyler Fackrell, and Oshane Ximines
Backups: Markus Golden, Niko Lalos, Jabaal Sheard, Carter Coughlin, and Cam Brown
2021:
Starters: Lorenzo Carter, Oshane Ximines
Backups: Carter Coughlin, Cam Brown, Niko Lalos, and Trent Harris
Analysis:

The NY Giants are set depth-wise at the EDGE position and outside linebacker. The team’s main issue at the position revolves around a lack of top-end talent and proven, reliable commodities.

Both Carter and Ximines ended the season on IR after Weeks 4 and 5. Behind them, Fackrell is gone along with Jabaal Sheard. The 2020 rookies return in Coughlin, Brown, and Lalos who will make up the depth of the group.
