2. EDGE Azeez Ojulari

Following a very solid rookie season in which he racked up 49 combined tackles, eight sacks, and 42 total pressures, we have only seen Azeez Ojulari in two games this season. Despite this, it seems as if the Giants could be getting the 22 year old edge rusher back within the next couple of weeks, if not against the Commanders.

The Giants have struggled to create pressure against opposing QBs all season. While they have players like Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux, they need more depth in that area, which is where Ojulari comes in.

There are no doubts that bringing Ojulari into the picture for the Giants defense would do wonders for the team. Not only will he free up room for everyone else up front, but he also has the potential to dominate opposing blockers.

Ojulari has the potential to be a fantastic edge rusher in this league. Not only did he already have the elite speed to beat tackles off the edge last season, but he also put on a good amount of muscle going into this season.
