Linebackers (10)

Blake Martinez, Lorenzo Carter, Oshane Ximines, Reggie Ragland, Ifeady Odenigbo, Azeez Ojulari, Elerson Smith, Cam Brown, Tae Crowder, Carter Coughlin

Outside looking in: T.J. Brunson, Devante Downs, Garrett Cale, Trent Harris

A case can be made that Martinez was a Pro Bowl snub in his first season with the NY Giants, but there’s no mistaking the fact that in 2020 he emerged as one of the roster’s most vocal and respected leadership voices.

The NY Giants are banking on Carter and Ximines both coming back from serious injuries and making serious strides in their developments as an edge presence.

Many view Ojulari as a steal of the NFL Draft, and there’s a chance that he could vault to the top of the outside linebacker depth chart with a strong summer. Look for Ragland to be the odds on favorite to start alongside Martinez in the heart of the NY Giants’ defense.
