1. LB Myles Jack

Veteran linebacker Myles Jack could be another potential option for this Giants defense. Jack, a second-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After a lackluster rookie season with the Jaguars, Jack found his footing in year two. Since then, his career has evolved into him being a consistent playmaker on the defensive side of the ball Over his six seasons with the Jaguars, Jack appeared in 88 carer games, starting in 82 of them. In total, he recorded 513 total tackles, 335 solo tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 17 quarterback hits, 6.5 sacks, 15 defended passes, and three interceptions.

Following the 2021 season, Jack opted to join the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. While appearing in 15 games for the team, he recorded 104 total tackles, 61 solo tackles, three tackles for loss, and three defended passes.

At 27 years old, Jack still appears ready to make an impact. He has recorded 100 tackles in each of the last three seasons and has established himself as a veteran in today’s game. Adding him alongside Okereke could give this Giants linebacker room the boost they need.
