3. Blake Martinez

Blake Martinez lived up to his reputation as a tackling machine, totaling 151 tackles including nine tackles for loss in his first season with the Giants, which was third-most in the NFL. For comparison, Antonie Bethea led the Giants with only 110 tackles in 2019.

Martinez also had three sacks.

His leadership and impact in the run game went a long way towards changing the identity of the Giants defense that has the potential to be even better this season.
