Defensive line Starters:

DE: Leonard Williams

DT: B.J. Hill

DE: Dexter Lawrence

Reserves: Danny Shelton, Austin Johnson

A small group in numbers, but a massive group in size. This Giants’ defensive line consists of huge bodies all over and they will need to engulf teams’ offensive lineman to create havoc in opposing backfields.

Shelton and Johnson will provide the needed depth to support the three starters upfront. There is plenty of help off the edge, the Giants can go light in their defensive line group here with their often-used 3-4 defense and sub-package 2-4-5 looks.
