Can Giants’ CB Leonard Johnson bounce back from ACL tear?

The New York Giants already had a young cornerback room, and drafting Deonte Banks in the first round and Tre Hawkins III in the sixth round added even more youth. Leonard Johnson, a free agency addition in March, is finally entering his first NFL season after an ACL tear ruined his draft stock in 2022. Is Johnson’s career finally about to get on track?
