4) Who anchors Patrick Graham’s pass-rush?

Last season, the NY Giants needed to manufacture sacks, and coordinator Patrick Graham did a nice job of generating pressure despite suboptimal personnel on the edges.

Entering 2021, Leonard Williams must prove that his career-high 11.5 sacks last season wasn’t an outlier. Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines’ return offer promise.

There’s also a chance that Azeez Ojulari, the NY Giants’ second-round draft pick, could steal a job and start immediately.

But, even with dramatically improved personnel in the secondary, it remains to be seen whether Graham will ratchet up the pressure, after blitzing just 25.5 percent of snaps last season, 19th most in the league.
