Projecting how New York Giants’ 2021 NFL Draft class will perform in 2022

CB Rodarius Williams

The final selection the Giants made in the 2021 draft was Rodarius Williams, who unfortunately suffered a torn ACL in week 5 against the Cowboys.

Williams saw about a quarter of the snaps on defense in a three-week span before getting hurt, with limited snaps on special teams. It’s tough to say at this point what his future holds, given his injury and a new regime.

Like Brightwell, there’s a chance Williams emerges as a cut candidate given the Giants cap situation at the moment, although that could change depending on how Schoen opts to clear space, as aforementioned. Nonetheless, Williams doesn’t have a clear fit on the defense even when he returns from injury.

Expected Role: Backup cornerback, the potential shift to special teams.
