The backbone of the NY Giants’ defense last season, the defensive line remains a strength.

The NY Giants are betting big that Williams’ first career double-digit sack campaign isn’t an outlier, and rather the beginning of a career-renaissance under coordinator Patrick Graham and defensive line coach Sean Spencer.

After losing Dalvin Tomlinson via free agency to the Minnesota Vikings, look for Austin Johnson and Danny Shelton to play vital roles aiming to replace him.
