NY Giants: GMENHQ Staff Predictions for 2021 team stat leaders
Interceptions
Stephen Samra: Xavier McKinney – 5: Two-words – ball hawk. Xavier McKinney made a huge interception against Dallas in Week 17, and it will prove to be a preview of things to come.
Matt Lombardo: Logan Ryan – 3: The addition of Adoree’ Jackson could make it less likely that teams throw to the perimeter, which could create more opportunities for Ryan to prove a ballhawk.
Carly Mersky: James Bradberry – 6: Bradberry is a Top-10 CB in the league and I feel like he’ll only continue to prove that in 2021.
John Esposito: James Bradberry – 5: I’m sure teams will attempt to stay away from him but he will get his chances and will continue to make plays for this defense.
Danny Friedman: Xavier McKinney – 4
Connor McJunkin: Xavier McKinney – 5: Bradberry proved himself last year and teams are going to avoid throwing his way if they can help it. McKinney is a playmaker that hauled in two INTs in the season finale vs Dallas (1 called back) and is going to have a monster year in that secondary. He is a better version of Landon Collins that has a knack of finding the ball.
